The options in the Keys menu let you select how your visual keyframes behave relative to your manipulations in the FCurves pane.
When pasting a keyframe region, activate Paste Ripple to make keys that follow the pasted selection move according to the size of the pasted region. Disable to keep other keys anchored when pasting a keyframe region.
When manipulating keyframe selections, VK Ripple lets you set how keyframes behave relative to your edits. The VK Ripple option is the same as the VK Ripple option in the FCurves pane. To change the behavior of the keyframes when VK Ripple is active, see VK Ripple Options.
This section describes the options in the VK Ripple menu.

When Switch to Fixed on Edit is active, editing a Auto key by dragging its tangents in the FCurves pane switches its interpolation from Auto to Fixed. Switch to Fixed on Edit is active by default.
Reset Tangents on Switch to Auto
When Reset Tangents on Switch to Auto is active, switching from Fixed to Auto resets the selected keyframe’s tangents, so that they are the average of the previous and next keyframes. This option is active by default.
When Reset Tangents on Switch to Auto is disabled and you switch a keyframe from Fixed to Auto, the tangents of the selected keyframe are not reset and retain their offset. See Tangent area.
