I don’t know why Page Up and Page Down aren’t working for you, but I can recommend some alternatives. Ctrl (or Command on Mac OS) and the right arrow key together work the same as Page Down. Ctrl (or Command on Mac OS) and the left arrow key together work the same as Page Up. This works with the addition of the Shift key, too, for moving 10 frames at a time.
See the “Shortcuts: time navigation” section of After Effects Help for more.

That seems odd. Does the shortcut just not work when the pointer is on the secondary monitor? Please file a bug using the bug-report/feature-request form.

My first thought is to use layer styles.
Photoshop contains a lot of preset layer styles for glossy/glassy buttons. You can import a PSD file containing these layer styles into After Effects and then copy and paste the layer styles within After Effects. The page that I link to above contains a link to a tutorial here on the COW that shows how to do this.

This page has a diagram that shows the keyframe navigator. The diamond in the middle is a button that you can click to set a keyframe at the current time (or delete the keyframe at the current time if there’s already one there).
It seems that you may benefit from starting at the beginning and learning the basics of how to set keyframes, et cetera. There’s some introductory material about keyframes in the “About animation, keyframes, and expressions” section. There are also some getting-started materials listed in the top-left part of this page.

The custom resolution setting isn’t persistent. This is a good feature request, though.
Here’s a link to the feature-request/bug-report form.

You can animate paths in a shape layer. You can also animate the drawing on or off of a path’s stroke with the
Trim Paths path operation.———————————————————————————————————

Sorry, José, but I don’t understand your question. It’s clear that you’re asking about keyframe assistants. Maybe one of these searches will help you to find the answer that you’re looking for:
