Proportional timing for keyframes?

Hi, is there a feature for proportional keyframing? In Maya, they are called Breakdown keys. In After Effects, they're called Roving keyframes.

Basically, any keyframes that lie in between 2 keyframes will adjust their timing automatically as I drag the end keyframes across time.

There is a button in the animation editor to scale keyframes.

Thanks, I am aware of that, and that's what I currently use as a workaround. It requires a selection every time I need to do it though.

Also, if there are other curves visible that should not be part of the scaling, I also need to remove them from the view first, or carefully select around them. Not very efficient.

Another useful feature of it, is that it is usually drawn differently from regular keys, so it makes it easier to visualise, at a glance, which are your key poses, and which are the in-between keys.

Curious that this feature does not exist, given how common it is in animation apps.
