How do I delete a keyframe?

very basic question: I want to get rid of an animation that I don't need anymore. How do I delete a (point motion) keyframe in the timeline? the obvious methods don't work (del, backspace, right-click-menue...)

Select the key (the dot in the time line). It turns red. Now press the "delete" button on the time line. You can't use the delete key to remove key frames. You must select the key and use the delete button.

alt+backspace works

oops. there is a delete button...

I actually missed the most obvious... thanks, Vern!

And thanks for sharing the "alt-backspace" trick, funksmaname!

Wow, that is a great tip!

I wonder - are there shortcuts for copy paste frames?

alt+V, alt+C for copy/paste keyframes.
