How to get the currently selected keyframe?

[rafGCQG8]

Hi there,

I'm writing a Maya plugin in python and it has become necessary for me to be able to get the current user selected keyframe. This function will go to keyframe 0, copy all information related to all bones and then paste it on the current keyframe the user had selected before pressing the button. 

E.g. in MEL:

currentTime 0 ;
select -r Root hip abdomenLower ...etc ;
timeSliderCopyKey;
currentTime 2;
timeSliderPasteKey false;

but currentTime 2; would be equal to the keyframe the user is on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you:)

currentTime(query=True);

This returns the current keyframe. The solution in python was:

import maya.cmds as cmds

currentKeyframe = cmds.currentTime(query=True)
...
cmds.currentTime(currentKeyframe)
