Each time you press the keyboard shortcut for one of these containers, you cycle through its tools. I've highlighted two of these arrows in Figure 17.1 and listed them in Table 17.1. These are the containers that hold more than one tool. Take a close look and you'll notice five containers have tiny, nearly indistinguishable arrows in their lower-right corners. The five containers with tiny triangles in the lower-right corners hold multiple tools. The timeline's toolbox with its eight single-letter shortcut keys. For instance, you can press the V key to change the cursor to the Selection tool.

Take a look at Figure 17.1, which shows the toolbox shortcut keys. Each container has a single-letter keyboard shortcut. Others have as many as five tools tucked away for your use. Some of those containers hold only one function?the Selection tool, for instance. That said, there are about a dozen shortcuts I use all the time. Your hands never need touch the keyboard. It's easier to simply right-click the time display, select Clear Timeline Marker, and select a marker number.
