Hello,
I was just curious if anybody out there knows how to see and move individual keyframes of a rotoshape inside the Shake curve editor? As far as I know, the timeline is the only place to view the keys of a rotoshape. I hope I'm wrong.

Unfortunately I think you're right, there really isn't a way using the Curve Editor, although you can cut and paste keyframes in the Timebar.
I have been using Silhouette Roto for dedicated roto work, then using the worflow of importing the Silhouette Roto shapes into Shake. Silhouette does have some nice features like a roto shape hierarchy window which allows you to easily color code, lock, add motion blur, etc. to shapes and it also allows you to group shapes and stuff. And in its timeline display it allows you to work with the shapes as individual layers with all their keyframes.

oh cool, thanks for the input, I'll definitely check out that software.
You mentioned that you can cut and paste keyframes from the timeline. How exactly can I do this? I'm using 2.5 at the moment but don't see a cut and paste option for that.
