When using Maya’s Dope Sheet and Graph Editor you sometimes want to quickly center the editors on the current active frame. You can do this by going ‘View’>'Center Current Frame’ – or – you can add these two commands to your hotkey editor and map that functionality to some spiffy hotkeys:

For the Graph Editor:
animCurveEditor -edit -lookAt currentTime graphEditor1GraphEd;

For the Dope Sheet:
dopeSheetEditor -edit -lookAt currentTime dopeSheetPanel1DopeSheetEd;

For those who like this sort of stuff there is Cameron Fielding’s ‘Tap your timing’ – tip

Always always always remember wrapping your paths in quotes. I keep running into stuff I wrote break because someone saved a file with a space in it and I forgot to wrap the path in quotes.
This works:
blackwave.exe -d 50 superwave.wav
This doesn’t:
blackwave.exe -d 50 super 2.wav (two file arguments, ‘super’ and ’2.wav’)
To fix this:
blackwave.exe -d 50 "super 2.wav"

So remember: whenever you are using path rembemer the
"\""+ variable + "\""
(or something else that suits your language)

In Softimage on Windows, if you fetch the TEMP environment variable e.g. from witihn python (with the os.environ dictionary), you will get a different directory when you get the TEMP variable from outside Softimage.
Outside Softimage you get:
C:\Users\<username>\some\path\I\cannot\rembemer
within it you get:
C:\Users\<username>\some\path\I\cannot\rembemer\XSI_temp_###

Just in case you wanted to write files to TEMP and read from them later.
