Copying keyframes in Maya 2012?

RoxyPox

I am having more trouble than I should be with copying key frames in Maya. I am trying to animate an idle on one of my characters, and I am trying to copy keys to create moving holds. But I can't seem to copy and past correctly.
I'll copy a frame and then I'll paste it at a different point in the timeline, and it will make a keyframe, but it will not copy the position or orientation of my controller. So it really doesn't copy the frame at all.
I've tried copy/pasting in the graph editor and in the timeline, and neither have worked.
I'm more familiar with animating in 3Ds Max, so it is very possible that I am just over-looking something.
Any suggestions?
I am using Maya 2012.

You can use the timeline but I think you have to do it rmb -> copy, rmb -> paste -> paste connect with the controller or object you wish do copy.
At least this works for me in maya 2012

You can also middle mouse on the key, drag it to where you want and set a key.
