Why we like it

Keyed earns its place in the Superhive library for handling keyframe insertion and removal from the Timeline with context-aware, active-object behaviour and dynamic header icons.

What is Keyed - Timeline Keyframe Enhancement?

Keyed is a keyframe control add-on for Blender created by ToonUps. It lets you work with keyframes directly from the Timeline, with a single click that toggles a keyframe on the current frame: if a keyframe exists it is removed, and if not it is added. The add-on supports a range of keyframe types to insert or remove, including Location, Rotation, Scale, or a combination of all three (LocRotScale), giving precise control over which properties are keyed.

Keyed is context-aware and works with your active object, so keyframing stays relevant to what you are working on. Its buttons sit in the header for quick access, and the icons change dynamically based on whether a keyframe is present, offering a clear visual cue of the animation's status. The interface updates in real time within the Dopesheet and Timeline editors.

Built to reduce the number of steps needed to insert or remove keyframes, Keyed fits into an existing Blender workflow and is described as suitable for both beginners and professionals. Its flexible keyframing options cater to a range of animation needs and styles.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Keyed support?

Keyed lists support for Blender 2.93, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 4.0. The add-on was originally designed for Blender version 2.93.0, and the listed range covers the 3.x series through 4.0. If you are running a version outside this range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing so the header buttons and Dopesheet integration behave as expected.

What keyframe types can Keyed insert or remove?

Keyed lets you choose from a range of keyframe types to insert or remove, including Location, Rotation, Scale, or a combination of all three as LocRotScale. This gives control over which animation properties are keyed on the current frame. Because the add-on is context-aware and works with your active object, the keyframing stays relevant to what you are working on rather than affecting unrelated objects.

Where does Keyed appear in the Blender interface?

Keyed integrates into the Blender interface with buttons conveniently placed in the header for quick access. The icons change dynamically based on the presence of keyframes, offering a clear visual cue of the animation's status. The interface also updates in real time within the Dopesheet and Timeline editors, so the display stays responsive as you toggle keyframes on the current frame and continue working directly from those editors.

Is Keyed free, and what license does it use?

Keyed is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license. For current licensing terms and any updates to availability, check the developer's page on Superhive. Since pricing and licensing can change over time, confirming on the official listing is the most reliable way to see what applies before you download and install the add-on for your Blender setup.
