Quickly add unique titles to pictures in iPhoto 5

When editing titles (or any of the other Information fields) in iPhoto 5, you can move to the next photo in the album by using Command-] (right bracket) or the last photo by using Command-[ (left bracket). This appears to be a new feature in iPhoto 5. It's worth mentioning because it can dramatically speed up the process of giving all your photos names. Also, it's not an immediately obvious key command, and it's not shown in any of the menus. It is mentioned in iPhoto's Keyboard Shortcut help file under "Information Pane" (but mislabeled, no less!)

Somewhat more obviously, you can also batch rename a set of files by using Shift-Command-B (Photos: Batch Change...).
