    I want a keyboard shortcut to move all layers over. Not like the bracket key that would move every layer to the same position, but that would move the whole body of layers over while keeping them in the same order.

    i don’t now of a keyboard short cut for that, but if you start to drag the selected layers with the mouse, then hold the shift key, the layers should snap to the CTI

    use option (mac) or alt (PC) in combo with the page up or page down button (think: “down” the time line to figure out which one)

    Kevin, absolutely brilliant, thank you!

    And nice one too Steve, that does move the entire group of layers one frame at a time.

    Valeu!

    yes, all select layers will move. also, holding shift will move them 10 frames at a time.
