  • Graph editor rectangle selection resize from centre or origin

Hello!
In the Graph editor I'm missing the possibility to resize the selected area using its centre as a pivot, by pressing some hotkey like Ctrl, Shift or Alt.
What I'm trying to achieve is evenly resize a whole curve or set of curves while sort of keeping the centre of it, without having to tweak it too many times.

It would be great to have 3 different ways of resizing it, apart from the Free one, each bound to a different hotkey or upper buttons:

  • using the centre of the rectangle as pivot
  • using the centre of the selected curves
  • using the 0 value as the centre

You can hold ctrl when resizing the selection box to scale from the center of the box.

To scale from the center of the curve values, the Favor tool's "average" settings may do what you want:

To scale to zero, the Favor tool "default" setting may be what you want.

    Ooh, that's cool, thank you Nate.
    I obviously tried to press all hotkeys WHILE scaling the rectangle, but not BEFORE.
    I'm pretty sure being able to toggle this while doing the action instead of having to decide before starting it would be great, a bit like drawing programs do, but it's good to know there's at least one way to do it.

    Also it's the first time I find a good use for the Favour tool, I'll have to properly study it 🙂
