Hi there -
I was wondering if any of you lovely moho addicts might know a litle about the preferences - for instance what is the: auto assist with bone locking keyframes feature all about....?

Hello Jakob,
As I understand it, that setting automatically inserts IK keyframes on the frame before a bone is unlocked, so that you don't see a jump from a chain constrained-by-locking to unconstrained. Without that setting you'd have to create those keyframes manually.
For a quick simple example, download and unzip this file.
Start Moho, then un-check (turn off) that setting (important, you must open the file the first time with that setting un-checked, or Moho will create the compensating keyframes).
Open the file, and see what happens to the supporting leg in frames 11 and 12.
Now turn on the "Auto-assist with bone locking keyframes" feature, and have another look at frames 11 and 12 (the slight "skating" movement between frames 11 and 12 is due to my carelessness when creating this quick example - I should have stopped the "pelvis" bone moving at frame 11 before unlocking).
Select the thigh or shin bones and see how Moho has inserted keyframes at frame 11 (the last locked frame) to keep the leg bones from "jumping" when the IK chain goes into the unconstrained state.
