If Time
Range-All is on in the Snap
Keys options, all keys for the current object are scaled.

on in the Snap Keys options, only keys
between the specified Start and End times
are scaled. If Time Range-Time
Slider is on in the Snap Keys options,
only the keys between the Range Slider’s Start and End times
are scaled.
