Question: How does one copy and paste keyframes in the Animation Editor?

It seems as if t$$anonymous$$s would be pretty straightforward but alas, I'm at a loss.

Still churning through the Animation Tool Reference

but having a tough time finding the instructions for copy/paste of keyframes...

Copy and paste is not supported in the Animation View at t$$anonymous$$s point.

There is a feature request for t$$anonymous$$s feature here, w$$anonymous$$ch you can vote up if you want.

It's been added to Unity some time after t$$anonymous$$s question was asked, yet may still be tricky to figure out.

Short explanation: Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V in "Dope Sheet" mode

Select Object with Animation
Open Animation Window
I could not get it to work in "Curves" mode
Click time-line on column with key frames to get red line on column
Press Ctrl + C
Click time-line where you want to paste
Press Ctrl + V
Profit

Great Solution.

In addition "Dope Sheet" mode support,
In Unity 5.5.0f3(Windows), "Curves" mode seems to support Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V.

I found one workaround for copying keyframes in the Animation editor (using Unity 4.3)

1) Locate the keyframe you want to copy and make sure all the transformations are keyframed (there are no holes in the column of diamonds). 2) Drag the keyframe to the end of the animation 3) Highlight all the transformations in the "Add Curve" window. 4) Select anywhere on the timeline after the keyframe you moved and $$anonymous$$t the "add keyframe" button. 5) The keyframe is now duplicated and you can drag it back to it's original position.

In the meantime they've made it work in curves mode. I wasn't able to copy multiple body parts at the same time but I could get all axes for one body part at once.
