    rb_manipHotkeys.py

    Maya script

    Description:
    Adds hotkeys to Maya to easily select the individual x, y, or z
    channel in the current manipulation mode. Adds different colours
    to the manipulation areas of the ChannelBox: red for translate,
    green for rotate and blue for scale.
