Use the Transform Keyframes tool

Use the Transform Keyframes tool to drag a selection box around multiple keyframes and
then manipulate their positions by dragging the box or or adjusting its handles. Dragging the
selection box moves the selected keyframes in whatever direction you move. As a result, you
can affect where the keyframes are positioned in time or you can affect their parameter values,
or you can do both at the same time. Adjusting a selection box handle scales the keyframes,
changing their timing and parameter values.
