For fast editing of the fade time by keys, I don't think there is a 
solution. You can however speed up by using the single line editor. 
It becomes active when a layer is in edit mode, but the cuelist 
editor is set to "blind". To see the single line editor click on the 
advanced.. triangle of the control window first.

A fast change of fade time in single line edit:

1. Click on the grey single line text.
2. Change fade time, hit return.
3. Click the "Replace" (Rpl) button.

If you create some macros for step 1+2 (for some often used times), 
the change will be one macro then replace.

Sorry for removing the menu commands (and short-cuts) of the single 
line editor buttons. It has been always in LCedit+, but we removed it 
when the cuelist editor became the preferred editor :-)
