A focused utility rather than a broad toolset. It stands out in the superhive library for pairing a one-click shape key reset with granular bypass controls and optional keyframing, and it carries a five-star rating across its seven ratings.
Reset All Shape Keys Hotkey handles a repetitive part of Blender animation: zeroing out the shape keys on a selected mesh. The addon resets all shape keys in one action, and you choose whether or not to keyframe the zeroed-out values.
Control over which keys get touched is built in. You can tell the addon to ignore any shape key already sitting at a value of 0, pick individual keys to bypass, or bypass keys based on their position in the list. The reset button lives in the 'Tool' tab, and you can assign a hotkey to it to speed things up.
According to the developer, the addon is extra useful for shape key facial animation and for mocap cleanup. It's licensed under GPL and lists compatibility with Blender versions from 3.0 through 4.3. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
Reset All Shape Keys Hotkey is best for blender artists doing shape key facial animation and mocap cleanup who need to reset or keyframe shape keys quickly.
Reset All Shape Keys Hotkey is completely free to download and use.
Reset All Shape Keys Hotkey lists compatibility with Blender 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, so it covers a long stretch of releases from Blender 3.0 up to 4.3. The addon is distributed under the GPL license. If you're on a version outside that range, check the developer's page for the latest details before installing, since supported versions can change with newer updates.
Reset All Shape Keys Hotkey places its reset button in the 'Tool' tab inside Blender. From there you can trigger a reset of all shape keys on your selected mesh, and you can assign a hotkey to the button to speed up repeated resets. You also choose whether to keyframe the zeroed-out shape keys as part of the reset, so a single action can clear the values and optionally record them for animation work.
Reset All Shape Keys Hotkey gives you several ways to limit which keys it affects. You can have it ignore any shape key already sitting at a value of 0, choose specific individual keys to bypass, or bypass keys based on their position in the shape key list. These options let you reset most of a mesh's shape keys while leaving selected ones untouched, which the developer notes is helpful for facial animation and mocap cleanup work.
Reset All Shape Keys Hotkey is listed as free here. The licensing shown for it points to the GPL license, and pricing on external stores can differ from what's listed in this catalog. For the most current licensing and any cost details, check the developer's page directly before you download, since terms may have changed. A demo video is also available if you want to see more before deciding.
