Expose all internal After Effects commands to scripting
It's possible to find many of AE's command IDs by running the following ES function and filling in whatever menu command you're after:
app.findMenuCommandId("Go To Keyframe Time");
But many other commands that aren't strictly "menu" commands seem inaccessible / hidden. For example, it seems impossible to find the commands for shifting keyframes left or right (represented in the hotkey editor by entries like "NudgeKeyframesEarlier" or "Shift Selected Keyframes 1 Frame Earlier").
It'd be great if you could expose these secret commands to scripting, by giving them entries in the function above, giving them command IDs, and/or by building an event listener panel that mirrors back the actions you're performing, in the form of command IDs / names, or some other scripting-friendly mirror of each command.

This would be great!
In the meantime, this searchable list is has all the Command IDs listed in the dictionary files:

And while we're at it lets just switch to python already! This old 1995 javascript is killing me... I dread scripting for AE these days.
