in the synfig bugtracker and forum, waypoints enhancement start to take some space !

…
This a little summary to provoke some brainstroming, orientation and maybe choices :
Select many waypoints easily.
- [#762 Select multiple waypoints](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/762) using CTRL key
- [#761 Click and drag a box](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/761) around multiple ones to select them all
Move waypoint easily
- Move waypoint easily, via the arrow keys. Modifier keys : no modifier+arrow: ~1/4 second, shift+arrow: 1 second, Ctrl+arrow: 1 frame.
- Move waypoints of several layers to a different time at once (even if not from same parameter) (see also [#762](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/762))
- When multiple layers selected (or group) and multiple waypoints at same h:m:s:f , modifier-click to display a selector (popup menu?) to select/move only selected waypoint(s)
Navigate through Waypoints
- [Waypoint navigation](http://forums.synfig.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3158&p=14319&hilit=Waypoint#p14319) next prev x1 x5 …x10
Organize Waypoints
- [Group of waypoint](http://forums.synfig.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3150&hilit=Waypoint)
- [Label under waypoints](http://forums.synfig.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3150&hilit=Waypoint)
Display waypoints
- [Show summary](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/763) of all waypoints for current layer.
- [Display](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/267#issuecomment-469740322) waypoints on the Graph panel over the curve.
- Display “static intervals” between two in different color. (“Static interval” is a segment between two waypoints where the value remains unchanged) ([issue #790](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/790)).
- Highlight the associated parameter into the parameters panel when scrolling manually the timeline (also when playing animation has option?) we pass to a waypoint (to catch them easier)
- Tooltips on waypoints to know “who is who” (needed when multiple layers selected (or group))
Edit waypoints
- [Double click waypoint to show properties dialog](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/262)
- Change interpolation mode (of wp) by up/down arrows
- [Waypoint value edition](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/267#issuecomment-469740322) by vertical dragging on Graph panel.
- [Edition of TCB](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/267#issuecomment-469740322) waypoints using bezier handles on Graph panel
- Waypoint configuration in [tool option panel](https://forums.synfig.org/t/ui-edit-keyframe-in-transform-tool-panel/2641)
- Waypoint edition : using a panel with instant updating ( -1- when selecting a waypoint : waypoint info displayed in panel. -2- changing waypoint parameter from panel direct update, nothing saved before apply ? -3- TCB info active only if TCB interpollation selected)
- [Multi-waypoint deleting](https://forums.synfig.org/t/making-synfig-easier-to-use-brainstorming/1206/89) thing
- Copy and Paste for multiple waypoints a same time
[Shortcuts for waypoints manipulation:](http://www.synfig.org/issues/thebuggenie/synfig/issues/392)
- Box Selection mode by pressing “B”,
- Deleting selected waypoints by hitting “X / Ctrl+X / Del”
- Scaling / increasing gaps between waypoints by hitting “S” and moving the mouse, as if we’re scaling a model in Blender (or perhaps have “Scale Tool” for the waypoints themselves).
- Translate and move them across the Time Track, Hitting “G”
- and so one ,
Bugs affecting waypoints
- [Issue 651](http://www.synfig.org/issues/thebuggenie/synfig/issues/651) : When shortening keyframe length in Keyframes panel waypoints spills over into the previous keyframe range. (Ready for testing / QA)
What do you think ? new/others ideas i mess ??? …
