Default Create horizontal automation line

On the picture the left point has the perfect parameter I want to work with, but the right point was irritated by another already existing point, I guess. So it's anywhere. Normally I must delete all automation first to get a new horizontal line.
My question: Is there a way around without deleting? A special commando to write on the same height as the point before?

Command+Option to write a breakpoint that matches the previous
Shift+ Option to write a breakpoint that matches the next.

In your case, go to the right and hold command+option while writing a new breakpoint and it will match the left

Hm, it's not working here. I guess we are talking about the pencil tool and I see my automation lane. When I use cmd+opt or shift+cmd PT just creates new automation points where my cursor is.
Is it a only HD feature?

No. Not pencil tool. Grabber (or Multitool which will go to a grabber finger if over a automation line -- which is where I mostly stay)
and it is cmd+opt and shift+opt. Not shift+cmd.

Shift+Alt previous breakpoint

Also, not an HD feature.
