You can clone highlighted keys by moving them while holding down the Shift
key.
NOTE You can use any button on the Move Keys flyout to move keys in Dope
Sheet mode, but you can move keys horizontally only.
Procedures
To move a selection of keys:
1
On the Keys: Dope Sheet toolbar, click Move Keys if it isn't already
highlighted. It should be on by default.
2 Highlight the keys you want to move in the Key window by dragging a
selection rectangle around the keys. You can also use Ctrl+click to
highlight non-contiguous keys.
3 Position the mouse cursor over one of the highlighted keys, and then
drag horizontally to move the keys in time.
TIP Press SPACEBAR to lock the key selection. Then you don't have to drag
over the selected key, but anywhere in the viewport. This is useful when you
have a complex selection set of keys.

Keys
Use Slide Keys to move a group of keys (highlighted keys plus all the keys to
one end of the animation). The direction that you drag determines which
group of keys moves:
■ Dragging to the right moves the highlighted keys, plus all keys to the last
key of the animation, forward in time.
■ Dragging to the left moves the highlighted keys, plus all keys to the first
key of the animation, backward in time.
