Hi, I tried to follow the following instructions excerpted from a book to insert a key onto the animation curves I selected:

But when I clicked the curve using middle mouse button, nothing happened except the mouse cursor changed from a cross to a bullet when pressing and returned to cross after releasing. So, what did I miss in the operation and how on earth to insert a key following the steps above? I did press the MMB on the curve. Thanks a lot.

 

PS: I am using Maya 2017 and the Graph Editor is in modern UI.

You need to select at least one keyframe of the curve you want to modify, otherwise it doesn't add the keyframe. I tried and if you select one or more keyframes on the curve it works fine.

Yes! That's the trick -- users have to select other keys first. Thank you.
