There is no CLI or key command for store, as it's a destructive 
action and requires your attention.

Shift-cmd E  (layer menu command).

It's not built-in, but for manual fades (used by manual change of DMX 
values, and i-Cue), you can create a macro for it. A macro CLI is 
like m1

cmd click on the fade value, and you can also type it, instead of 
using the dialog. Actually a cuelist or steps can be copied and 
pasted as text. e.g. a small chase:

// Cuelist 10 (4 steps), loaded 26-09-2005 20:22
  show d01 for 2.0s, crossfading for 1.0s
  show d02 for 2.0s, crossfading for 1.0s
  show d03 for 2.0s, crossfading for 1.0s
  go 1.1

    1[255]    2[000]    3[000]    4[255]    5[000]    6[000]

    1[000]    2[255]    3[000]    4[000]    5[255]    6[000]

:d03
    1[000]    2[000]    3[255]    4[000]    5[000]    6[255]
