  is there a shortcut for moving a selected layer frame by frame forwards or backwords?

  Not at my AE machine today but look in the help system for the list of keyboard shortcuts, I think you want NUDGE.
  Or wait a few more hours and one of the wonks will drop by with the answer for you.

  I guess I’m a wonk, now, huh?

  After scanning the keyboard shortcut list and trying nearly every keyboard combination that makes any sense, I don’t believe this shortcut exists. Now, CMND+OPT(CTRL+ALT)+Up/Down will move the layer up and down in the layer stack, so one would think that CMND+OPT+Left/Right would take care of it, right? Yeah, no.

  The closest I can give you is moving keyframes: OPT/ALT+Left/Right

  I guess I’m a wonk that can’t help much.

  Also if you add Shift to the shortcut it will move it by 10 frames each time.

  And another similar one which I find very handy is to move selected keyframes by one frame (or 10 with Shift added) – Alt + left or right arrow key.
