Richard60: I see what you mean now. I wasn't aware there were bugs with layers in the graph editor. Working with layers slows down my system so I only use them for things like eye blinks and turns, or adding subtle random motion to a figure animated in the base layer, and I don't edit with graphs because displaying long animations is a challenge for my 2013 MacBook Pro, judging from the screen lag when I move a keyframe. I'd really like to be able to select a keyframe(s) and move it around with the arrow keys. Even changing the magnification requires excessive click and dragging. A few presets for 25, 50 and 75 percent magnification would be nice. Working with the animation palette can be tedious too, having to select a keyframe, pause to avoid a double click that opens a graph (I use a pen tablet and this happens constantly) then click and drag to move it. I'd like to at least have the option to quickly click and drag a keyframe with a modifier key. Scrolling through hundreds of parameters takes up too much time as well. Parameters can be removed, one at a time, but I think what's really needed is a filter like the Hierarchy Editor has, so you can hide figures, lights, cameras and props, and also parameters by category (translation, rotation, scale, morphs). I've had Poser for about six years and only dabbled with it until the past year when I started doing character animation. I'm happy with what it lets me do but constantly annoyed that I can't work more efficiently.
