Tool keyframes don't show up in animation editor

I want to animate tools, but the animation editor doesn’t show tool keyframes. This makes it impossible to delete keyframes and get good precision.

Clicking Shell, Cylinder, Body, Pump, or Add All Body will refuse to add the tool animation tracks. It will let me animate the tool, and the changes will save, but no keyframes. Not having access to animation curves really lowers the quality of my tool animations.

I’ve looked this problem up on google, to no avail. Moon Animator doesn’t solve this issue either, the tool keyframes still don’t show up. I’ve been struggling with this issue for at least a year now, if not more. Is there a way to fix this?

Just remembered that this post existed thanks to a like, and yeah this still is an issue. I’m wondering if it’s a bug, since the tool parts show up in the add parts menu, but don’t show up even when they are selected in said menu. Maybe I should raise a bug report? I don’t know, I just want to animate my tools.
