x will move a selected layer to the top of the timeline (NOT the top of the layer stack), so you can twirl down its properties and see more, without having to scroll manually. Its only temporary mind, as soon as you click on something else the timeline resets itself to a 'normal' display
try it, you'll see what I mean better than I can explain
Carey, there seems to be an extraneous "n" in the SC - CTRL+ALT+B is what's required.
I've also noticed an important/useful SC that is missing in the URL that Todd provided.
Specifically, "Deselect all KFs, properties and property groups" - CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+A or SHIFT+F2 does indeed do what it says in the Doc. However affected layers remain selected after the SC. Thus, to "deselect all KFs, properties, property groups AND layers", CTRL+SHIFT+A or simply F2 will do the trick. 9 out of 10 times, these are the SCs you want to use when deselecting KFs/props/layers.
Additionally, the SC+ mouseclick combos; CTRL+click and CTRL+ALT+click have a strange term; "Layer Bar Mode". These combos only work when clicking directly on a KF(s). Me thinks it will be good to re-write the doc here - remove Layer Bar Mode and simply address the fact that clicking has to occur on the KFs directly. Also, CTRL+ALT+click doesn't only toggle between Linear and Hold. The combo also works between Bezier and Hold KFs. CTRL+ALT+H, which is the keyboard-only, SC equivalent for CTRL+ALT+H should also reflect this.
