It would be really helpful to be able to animate seeing both at the same time...

I’m all for it! So many changes have happened in AE over the last few years... but having the timeline and graph editor in separate panels would take the program to another level. It’s an essential UI tweak that’s sorely missed.

This seems a bit of an overlook! Hopefully more people upvote it! Crazy we can't see dopesheet + graph view separately.
Can we atleast be able to open the same comp twice. Then we can do hatever with the second

Yes please. Allow user to see a faint ease curve between the keyframes, and provide a bezier handle on either side of the key to re-shape the curve. (Maybe only on selected keys to keep it uncluttered)

You have all that already, just bring it together in the one UI to avoid switching.

Also I think OP's title is supposed to say "Unify" the timeline and curve editor??? They're already "separate" - that's the inefficiency, right?

An updated graph editor would be great to have. Something like Maya's graph editor would be awesome, where you're able to zoom out further than the comp's restrictions to see handles & keyframes that lie outside of the timeline.

fwiw, I use a custom shortcut to switch from keyframe view to graph view.

A separate graph editor window from the keyframe timeline would be great.
It's such a pain to constantly switch between graph and key frames.

and cool would be , if we could change the in and out point of the layer by moving the points around.
