Is there any way to control the curves created for the animation in the graph editor in Blender with numbers?

For example the “cubic-bezier” function in CSS or the TCB interpolation setting in AutoDesk.

you can change the numerical data in the active keyframe panel on the right:

Thanks for your answer! This has very little control capacity and only 1 curve point can be controlled at a time, very impractical compared to the TCB in AutoDesk, it is even easier to control via graph editor instead of using this method to control by number.

With TCB I can manipulate the curves using only numbers to make the curves sharper, softer etc… And then when I select that point on the curve I can see the TCB value and change it, copy that TCB value to other curves or reset the TCB value etc.

In the graph editor in Blender, I either have to use one of the built-in functions (quadratic,cubic,etc.),which I can’t fine-tune, or I have to select points on the curve and manipulate the curve using move/rotate/scale, which I can’t see how much the curve has been moved/rotated/scaled from its default state when I return to the curve after a while.

Yeah, those animation curves haven’t gotten much love in a while.

It is what it is, I’m afraid. There might be some animation addons that can help. I’ve got not experience there, so I don’t have any specific guidance.
