We have console.markTimeline() for marking a point on the timeline.

Aside from that being impossible to discover ;) sometimes I'm trying to analyze
the timing of something that involves a complicated set of nested menus where
focus matters, or a somewhat difficult-to-reproduce state, or *something* (I
can't exactly remember the circumstance, but it somehow feels common to me)
where I hit record, spend some time fiddling with the page, and then cannot
find where the interesting action is.

What I would like is to be able to dynamically mark points on the timeline via
a shortcut key.  It is important to grab the key such that the page is unaware
you pressed it.  Perhaps there are more general ways you could make it trigger
that would make sense, like "don't record until the first relayout happens" or
something.
