I realized early on that doing the Avid default command for "show entire timeline" was *not* going to return to me. I re-mapped that function to Shift-Z and haven't looked back.
How I wish Avid would integrate the Hand Tool from FCP7. I used that a million times a day. Come to think of it, there's several FCP7 functions I wish were in Avid. Would seriously improve functionality, especially for those coming from FCP.

Personally, when switching back to Avid from FCP, delete and shift-delete are my biggest stumbling points for muscle memory. Also command-plus and minus for zooming instead of command brackets and command-/ instead of shift-z for showing the full timeline, though those three could be remapped.
