    I’m investigating the ins/outs of the Timeline manager and having the following problem.
    Working on a long animation, I’m finetuning the timing while zoomed in on certain segments/sequences.
    I want to move a keyframe further in time while all other keyframes are pushed forward.
    The only way I found to do so, was selecting all frames after a certain point and move that selection to the right.
    But that means zooming in and out all the time; can’t be the best option.
    There is an option “insert frames” in the “functions menu” of the timeline editor but that is greyed-out, whatever I try to do (the help-file isn’t helpfull on that subject).
    There must be something like “extend selection to end”, I suppose, but I can’t find it.

    You’re looking for Timeline>Edit>Ripple Edit. It’s a toggle.

    I don’t think so, Adam.
    Ripple only effects the other (non-selected) keyframes in the same track(s).
    I want it to work for all keyframes in all tracks; otherwise, objects for instance, that are toggled on/of by means of a visibility tag later on in the animation, are appearing too early.
