once upon a time I added a camera shake/wobbly

effect but now I cannot find such a thing?
Any advice please?

Also, is there anywhere an inventory of all AE effects and what they can do please?

You probably mean the Wiggler ...

Go to Window > Wiggler.  With this tool, you can set a random movement for whatever parameter you like.

I wonder why 4 of the 6 options are greyed out.

The property you selected must have at least 2 keyframes and both must be selected. The Wiggler will generate one new random keyframe for each frame in the comp.

Check the user guide for a list of all included effects. You can find tutorials and/or explanations of each effect by typing the name of the effect in the Search Help field in the top right corner of AE.

 

There is no effect called camera shake but there is an effect called Camera-Shake Deblur that does a pretty good job of fixing the extra motion blur that you get when a camera is bumped.

 

You could just add a wiggle expression to the Camera point of interest or the Camera position. Something like wiggle(5, 100) would wiggle the position or point of interest 5 times a second plus or minus a random value up to 100.
