I guess my question really is: Which palettes would you want to access with keystrokes and what would you want on faders. Would you use two faders for positions and crossfade?
I was thinking Gobos, beam effects, movement effects on faders
Don't forget that you can have virtual masters on an external screen, accessible via a mouse click.

Also, in the Oct. 07 PLSN (Projection, Lighting and Staging News) Nook Shoenfeld describes the "ultimate puntpage". Probably the best description of a busking setup that I've seen. You might also access it from his Visual Ventures blog at PLSN.
