In this quick video, I'm going to go over some of the hotkeys I have set up and use frequently. I'm curious as to what you all use, so if I'm not using a hotkey that you think is super useful then please leave it as a suggestion in the comments.

XRAY:
// get last panel that recieved focus
string $panel = `getPanel -wf`;
// toggle xray mode
modelEditor -e -xray ( !`modelEditor -q -xray $panel` ) $panel;

Wireframe Toggle:
string $selectedPanel = `getPanel -wf`;
int $shadedWireState = `modelEditor -q -wos $selectedPanel`;
if(`modelEditor -ex $selectedPanel`)
{
setWireframeOnShadedOption (!$shadedWireState) $selectedPanel;
}

Delete Edge Loop:
polySelectSp -loop; performPolyDeleteElements;

Import:
Import;

Previous Key:
nextOrPreviousFrame "previous"

Next Key:
nextOrPreviousFrame "next"

Previous Frame:
currentTime -edit `findKeyframe -timeSlider -which previous`

Next Frame:
currentTime -edit `findKeyframe -timeSlider -which next`

Outliner:
if(!`workspaceControl -exists "Outliner"`){ global int $gOutlinerPanelNeedsInit;$gOutlinerPanelNeedsInit = true;initOutlinerPanel();} workspaceControl -edit -restore "Outliner";

Graph Editor:
tearOffRestorePanel "Graph Editor" "graphEditor" true;
