You can also use the Track View Controller menu > Keyable command to
make tracks keyable in a single operation.
You can define keyboard shortcuts for making tracks keyable. By combining
the use of keyable icons with key filters, you can use Set Key animation mode
to add keyframes to just the tracks you want to work with, and avoid
keyframing other tracks.
Red key icon
means a track is
keyable.
When the keyable icons are visible, click the red icon to turn off the track.

keyable.
WARNING When you are working with Set Key animation and you have used key
filters to select object parameters or materials, all of the parameters will be keyed
unless you turn off the track's keyable property.

Keyable Property Toggle in the Track View group, on the Keyboard panel of the
Customize User Interface dialog.
