Can i assign a new shortcut in CS3?

Hi you can hide all the onscreen controls with the shortcut shift+option+h. If you really need a shortcut to only show or hide one particular mask in AE you could turn on Hide Locked Masks in Layer>Mask, then make a jsx script like this:
app.executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId("Locked"));
(this is a very basic version of a possible script)

Save the script to your scripts folder and assign a keyboard shortcut to it by modifying the “Adobe After Effects 9.0 Shortcuts”. Change one of the lines that looks like this:
“ExecuteScriptMenuItem02” = “()”

Into this:
“ExecuteScriptMenuItem02” = “(your shortcut here)”

In this example the script would be the topmost script in the scripts pulldown menu.

You might also need a script to unlock all masks since the code above won’t toggle.
app.executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId("Unlock All Masks"));
You could then assign this script (make it the 2nd in the list) to another shortcut:
“ExecuteScriptMenuItem03” = “(your shortcut here)”

Make sure there aren’t any shortcut conflicts in the Shortcuts file.
