Jumping directly to a specific frame HOTKEY
IIRC, ctrl+F used to bring up a dialog that would jump you to a entered frame. (now ctrl+F is the “Find” function.)
I would MUCH rather use a hotkey than laboriously roll my cursor over to the frame counter. But everywhere I look on the intertubez for this I just find people asking “how duz eye advanced the framez by wuns?” —That question has been answered many many times. Mine, not so much.
And, am I correct in recalling the old hotkey?

It used to be “Cntl+G” at one point, but they took that away. But if you click in the timeline Timecode window you can type in a specific timecode or frame number and jump to it that way.

from After Effects Help:
“To go to a specific frame, click in the time ruler; click the current-time display in the Footage, Layer, Composition, or Timeline panel; or press Alt+Shift+J (Windows) or Option+Shift+J (Mac OS).”This keyboard shortcut changed five versions ago when we made some changes to have more consistent keyboard shortcuts with Illustrator.

Thanks Todd, I always wondered what happened to Cntl+G or Shift+G…been so long I can’t remember.

Yeah, that’s what I remember: “G” for “GO”
I suppose J is for Jump. >8^)
I have yet to find a hotkey reference that is formatted in a way useful to myself. IMO it needs to be twofold:
One by function – but this is quite difficult, because the functions span several windows and I suspect vary subtle for some functions.
One ‘alphabetical’.
Maybe a third, just by window.
So, that document is getting quite long.
For some reason, the official Adobe layouts I find near-useless: they share that design disease I call ‘macitis’, in that there’s too much whitespace and the fonts are freekin’ tiny.
