I love to use the shortcuts. As my keyboard is designed for Swiss French, I've redefined some. But the ones I use the most are:

2 to select the body of the currently selected character (any object, not only humans)
1 to reselect the last body part that was selected  after having pressed the 2 key
Ctrl-0 to select the head cam (zero to the letter O)
the shortcuts you have to select the hands-related cams
Ctrl-M to select the main cam and the one you have defined for the auxiliary cam
Space + left click to pan the view
Ctrl + space + left click to zoom in/out
Alt-Click to turn around the currently selected part of a character (or a prop)

These shortcuts are at disposal in Poser 11, 12, 13 and 14.

When in the Material room of Poser 13 and 14: click on what you are editing the material in the pose view, press the letter M and you are now in direct manipulation tool, even though it's not displayed on the corresponding tools panel.

Learning those shortcuts represent a real time saving. And IMO it's one of the best features of Poser when it comes to any room

Wow! Great tips I will have to try and set the shortcuts up.

I use favorites.

Catagories include characters, morph injections,conversion donors, Current testing item, and utilities such as light, camera resets, several props etc

This lets me stay in one folder and load anything I need without having to move around in the various runtimes

Another great idea...so many good tips from everyone. As someone who only uses Poser sporadically it's great see all these tips from everyone.
