That's a good idea.  The help file does have them scattered throughout, but I will see what we can do about making a consolidated list.  Also, pressing the ALT key will bring up some shortcuts for menu and ribbon items.  But there are others that are kind of neat, here are couple to name some:

Click anywhere in the grid to use these...

Hold down z and scroll the mouse wheel to increase/decrease the amount of channels shown on the left side.

Hold down shift and scroll the mouse wheel to move the grid left/right

Hold down CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in/out time scale

If you have an effect selected, hold down the s key and scroll your mouse wheel to change the start intensity of the effect.  Hold down the f key and scroll the mouse wheel to change the final intesity of the effect.

Hi Rmonty

Are there short cuts to select the different effects? I like the mouse and menu selection but sometimes just hitting a key or key combination is quicker.

example - r to ramp or something like that

Thanks

Unfortunately not at this time.  I can add it to our list of features to add though.
Right now, I can get you a couple of button presses away.  If you right click on the effects you use most and click "Add to Quick Access Toolbar" then you can press the ALT key and then a number for the effect you want to use.  Also, remember you can double click any of the tabs (i.e. Effects) and it will make that toolbar stay open.

On the feature add, would you rather add them to a list where you can assign your own shortcut key preference, or would you rather us choose one for you?

Short answer Both LOL

A default set would be a great place to start but allow the end use to modify to their needs. I think that would be awesome.

Thanks

Just to add to what was said, the ribbon has hot keys to navigate. with LSP open, pressing the alt-key will display their keys, press the key will open the relevant item and show more keys or perform the action depending on what level the item is at (i.e. tab, collection, button)

hope this helps.

also, im sure you are aware, but if you double-click on the effect tab it will stay visible so that the effect palette does not continue to hide on you..
