Zoom In-Out View
If you want to zoom in/out stage view so that is where you need zoom in/out shortcuts. a/A and s/S shortcuts does the job you need.
Play / Reverse Play Animation
Playing the animation is a part of animation process in general, this also applies to Viz Artist design workflow. By pressing Enter key animations plays forward, Shift + Enter key combination plays reverse the animation in the timeline.

We found this shortcut quite handy. Shortcut j sets the timelinemarker to the nearest keyframe in stage.
Reverse Keyframe Order
Ctrl + r shortcut combination reverses the order of selected keyframes. This shortcut is a real time saver.
Jump to Next/Previous keyframe
Here is one another quite helpful shortcut. Tab selects the next keyframe, Shift + Tab selects the previous keyframe. If you didn’t know until now you Love it!
Scale A Part of Director
If there is a case that requires you to shorten a portion of your animation that is where you need this shortcut. This is a life save shortcut that saves you a lot of time when you work with an animated heavy project. Note this shortcut.
It allows you to pin 2 points on a directory by pressing t so you can scale the timeline.
Zoom In/Out Time Axis
x shortcut zooms in to the time axis of the selected animation. Shift + x fits the animation keyframes to the whole stage view.
Timeline Speed
Regular mouse move moves up-down frame numbers faster than where you use Ctrl + Left Mouse combination. So you check your animation preciously.
Switch to Another View
Ctrl + 2 shortcut switches to Animation View. Ctrl + 3 switches to Spline View and if you need to tweak splines of keyframes Ctrl + 4 is what you need.

CTRL + Home shortcut sets the timeline position of a director to the start point. CTRL + End shortcut sets the timeline position the the last keyframe of the selected director.
