See the Keyboard Shortcuts document, it's one of your best Pro Tools friends.

For moving audio within a region, IIRC, it's Start + Num Pad "+" or "-" for PC and Control + Num Pad "+" or "-" for Mac. Remember, it won't work on whole files. There has to be "unshown" audio for the audio to be able to move.

In vanilla Pro Tools 10 there is no automatic fades generated when a region is cut. That's only in the CPTK or HD. However, there is Batch Fade and this can be set to any value you want. Highlight the region(s) you want fades on and hit Ctrl + F on PC or Command + F on Mac to open the Batch Fades Dialogue. Set the parameters you want - pay particular attention to "Adjust existing fades" and be sure to uncheck this parameter, otherwise any fades you've already applied to the highlighted region(s) will be changed to the setting in the Batch Fades dialogue - and click okay. Once you've set the Batch Fades parameters where you want them, just hightlight the region(s) you want fades on and hit the "F" key in Commands Focus Mode.

Cheers,
