Key All Bones Rotation not working 2004-03-08 - By Adam Sale

Chris.. it'd probably be easier if you were to create marking sets for the
bones on your character and then key the marking sets..
It'll take a couple minutes to set up, but afterwards, will make your life
so much easier...
Quick way:
Turn your selection filter to bone
Multi select bones in scene
Create a group for easier access later
Select the members of the group
Activate the Rotation transform (C)
Create Marking sets (CTRL + SHIFT + M)
Activate Marking Sets (CTRL+ M)
Key (K)
In the script editor, find the last setkey line
and replace the number at the end of the line after the , with FC
ie. setkey "bone.kine.local.rotx, bone.kine.local.roty" , 4
becomes
setkey "bone.kine.local.rotx, bone.kine.local.roty" , fc
D&D the entire line onto a toolbar
And run whenever you need to key the character
Hope this helps a bit
Adam
