Creating a “Duplicating a layer and trimming” script
I need a script that duplicates a layer, trims it at the current time and moves it up layer. I know the shortcut keys for these three actions (Command+D, Alt+[, Shift+]) but I don’t know how to translate that into a script I can run whenever.

The first two parts would be like this (assumes layer is selected):
{
var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var myLayer = myComp.selectedLayers[0];
var myNewLayer = myLayer.duplicate();
myNewLayer.inPoint = myComp.time;
}I’m not sure what your third shortcut does.

The third shortcut moves the selected layer up in the order. If it was at the bottom, it moves it up to the second from the bottom layer.
