To enable the Shape Box, do one of the following:

— Select a group of keyframes, and then choose Modes > Shape Box from the contextual menu.

— Select a group of keyframes, and then click the Shape Box button in the toolbar.

— Select a group of keyframes, and then press Shift-B to enable or disable the Shape Box mode.
