How to select a bone and NOT add a keyframe

Hi all,

How to control this? Is there a keycombination to do this?

Now I get keys if I just want to check on some bone, or make adjustments to the bone. Maybe I missed something, but this shouldn't surely be the case?

Use the Select Bone tool.

Ok, that was too logical. Thanks! I was stuck with trying out different combinations with the manipulate tool and thinking it should be possible with the same tool.

I would really like that too. Having to switch to the Select tool is a pain in the bum. I'd rather work only in the manipulate tool if possible.

In the meanwhile, you can use B as a sticky key. That works in a similar way to a modifier key like Alt, Ctrl or Shift.
So, you are working with the Manipulate bone tool and when you want to select a bone, hold B (the shortcut for Select Bone tool) in the keyboard and select the bone you want. Once you release B, Manipulate Bones tool will be the current again.

I didn't know that! seems to work on all tools?! w00t.
(you must release mouse before key)

How long has this been implemented!? and why didn't anyone tell me about it?! *huff*

I think sticky keys was introduced in 11.

We all talked about it, Danny, and we were sure your knew about this.
