# keyfiller

This add-on adds a function to the dope sheet that inserts keyframes on all channels wherever there's a keyframe on any channel.

Dopesheet > Key > Keyfill

Works on all channels only for selected bones / objects.

# keychooser

This add-on adds a function to the dope sheet that selects/deselects keyframes on every Nth frame.

# keyframe-pies

This add-on replaces your old Insert Keyframe menu with a pie menu.

>! (Because somebody thought that showing your users the longest list imaginable is a good idea somehow.)

Latches onto the key binding you already have set to "Insert Keyframe". Press it for old menu, hold it for new menu. Shrimple.

| Old menu: | New menu: |

| ------ | ------ |

| ![Showcase of the add-on: old menu](https://github.com/KaniSama/crustacean-animation-tools/blob/main/images/KeyframePies/KeyframePiesOldMenu.png?raw=true) | ![Showcase of the add-on: new menu](https://github.com/KaniSama/crustacean-animation-tools/blob/main/images/KeyframePies/KeyframePiesNewMenu.png?raw=true) |

Only works in Pose Mode.

## If the add-on stopped working after closing blender:

- Press T in the 3D Viewport window;

- In the toolbox on the left, click "Start add-on" under "Keyframe Pies".

That should bring it back.

# cls-sim-setup

This module inserts an initial keyframe for a selected rig. Make sure you already have the necessary F-curves.
