Set Up Maya To Flip Your Keys #mayamonday

Brian Horgan has a tutorial about how he set up Maya to flip your keys and do things a little differently. To explain, he changed the default hotkeys:

…instead of the default hotkeys just going to the previous/next keyframes they now flip forward on each press and flip back again on release, this is an experiment I’m trying to see if a ‘2D style’ workflow (where animators drawing on paper roll or flip their drawings between their fingers as they work) might work for me.

He explains it all in the video.
