That's a good question. I know there's a tool available to ADD a keyframe to all channels, but I don't think the opposite is available. Let me see if I can hack the add one to accomplish that.

You can select the keyframes just dragging the mouse and then pressing "Delete" button in timeline window. With this method you can erase from just one keyframe for the selected item up to all the keyframes of all channels for several frames.
Also you can erase completely a channel of a layer. Make left click on the channel symbol (all the keyframes will turn to red) then press "Delete"button.
For different layers at the same time I think there is no tool to do that. Perhaps a menu script can do it.

Okay, it looks like this works. I hope I correctly interpreted what you wanted. This script deletes any keyframes from the current position on the timeline, on ALL layers and sublayers. Beware, separate group or bone layers are not protected from this.

I've posted the tool here, in the scripting forum.

This is the location of js_keyAll.lua the "key all" tool, and js_keySkeleton.lua the "key skeleton" tool (which you use if you only want keyframes in the bone layers.)

They're not zipped, so just be sure to download both the .lua and the .png files for each tool (if you want both of them). Keep in mind the "step mode" is enabled by default, but I prefer to disable that, to make my keys use the document default interpolation (smooth, in my case).

Glad my hack was useful to you. It was based on these scripts.
