How to select a bone and NOT add a keyframe

Hi all,

How to control this? Is there a keycombination to do this?

Now I get keys if I just want to check on some bone, or make adjustments to the bone. Maybe I missed something, but this shouldn't surely be the case?

Use the Select Bone tool.

:oops: Ok, that was too logical. Thanks! I was stuck with trying out different combinations with the manipulate tool and thinking it should be possible with the same tool.

I would really like that too. Having to switch to the Select tool is a pain in the bum. I'd rather work only in the manipulate tool if possible.

In the meanwhile, you can use B as a sticky key. That works in a similar way to a modifier key like Alt, Ctrl or Shift.
So, you are working with the Manipulate bone tool and when you want to select a bone, hold B (the shortcut for Select Bone tool) in the keyboard and select the bone you want. Once you release B, Manipulate Bones tool will be the current again.
