Switch to Fixed on Edit

When Switch to Fixed on Edit is active, editing the Auto key by dragging its tangents in the FCurves pane switches its interpolation from Auto to Fixed. This option 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 tangents of a selected keyframe, 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.
