⌘3 - open/close the command window 
⌘4 - open/close the Layers palette
⌘5 - open/close the Properties Inspector palette
⌘6 - toggles the status bar 
⌘7 - open/close the Reference Manager palette
⌘8 - open/close the Material Browser palette
 
⌘/ - launches the online help (browser)  
⌘E - displays the Export Data dialog
⌘F - displays the Find and Replace dialog
⌘G - groups selected objects  
⌘I - displays the Properties Inspector palette
⌘R - regenerates the current viewport  
⌘W - closes the current drawing  
 
⌘+ - zoom-in 2x  
⌘- - zoom-out 0.5x  
⌘, - displays the Application Preferences dialog
