Little hint for Autodesk Maya to edit keyframe node values using keyframe command :

mc.keyframe('r_tread_jt_02_path_uValue',e=True,index=(0,0), floatChange=0.05)

mc.keyframe('r_tread_jt_02_path_uValue',e=True,index=(1,1), floatChange=1.1)

mc.keyframe('r_tread_jt_02_path_uValue',e=True,index=(0,0), valueChange=0.1)

mc.keyframe('r_tread_jt_02_path_uValue',e=True,index=(1,1), valueChange=2.5)

WASD arrows switch / remap keyboard problem

If you suddenly cannot type A, W, S, D on your keyboard, maybe these keys were actually remapped to arrow keys. This could happen during playing a game.

Most keyboard can fix this if you press [Fn] key and then [w] key holding both pressed. This should switch the mapping of the keys back to letters and arrows.

Windows key not working

This can also happen. And I managed to sort it by pressing [Fn] key and then [Windows] key.

Highlight Affected - Maya 2019

Maybe you were wondering why objects wireframe is not pink anymore in Maya 2019 - when this object is not directly selected but it is somehow affected by the selected object(s).
