Enhanced Copy / Paste
In After Effects we can copy and paste keyframes onto the CTI and... that's it.
Keystone offers new useful options to deal with the most common situations like pasting on the layers in point / out point or even automatically replace selected keys.

With a simple hotkey use the "Layer", "Property" or "Global" mode.
