The only ones i end up using regularly are F5 and home (one webpages). I don’t even know many more(excpet cut, copy, and paste). I know some people use shortcuts all the time. Anyone here one of those people who just peck at the keyboard all day and don’t really need the mouse? And what shotcuts do you use?
CTRL + ALT + DEL
I find myself using the (windows key) + (something) shortcuts more and more, as I find out about them. Currently, I use:
(windows key) + m = Minimize all windows (great for when you’re at work!) 
(windows key) + pause = System Properties window
And, when I want a change of view:
Tap the ‘F11’ key when using Explorer or Mozilla.
<< Do-be-do-be-do >>
I use cut, cupy, paste all the time (ctrl-x,c,v) and alt-tab to switch between windows. And I use the key that opens my task bar, but I think that’s all.
I used to use tons on my Mac, but I don’t play with him that much these days. He’s had monitor problems since he came out of storage. Sigh.
Ctrl+Z to undo, Shift+Ctrl+Z to redo.
Windows+M to minimize all windows, Windows+L to lock the console when I step away (Windows XP).
Ctrl+S to save. After a few occasions of losing code I’d just written due to my IDE crashing, it’s become a reflex… write a procedure, hit Ctrl+S. Change a line, hit Ctrl+S.
F9 to run my program, Ctrl+F2 to stop it (in Delphi). If I’ve made some changes and I’m ready to test? Ctrl+S, F9.
Ctrl+Tab to switch between child windows or tabbed pages, Shift+Ctrl+Tab to move backwards. Ctrl+F4 to close child windows.
F3 to repeat my last search. I hate it when programs use F3 for something else (cough cough, Microsoft Word).
Ctrl+Y to delete a line. Sadly, this one is becoming less common in new programs.
I hardly ever touch the mouse when using Microsoft Excel. It’s easier to just use the keyboard the whole time.
CTRL-C, ALT E-L-V!
I use Windows + M all the time too! Also Windows + E for an Explorer window.
When I start surfing in Mozilla or Netscape, I’ll hold down Ctrl and hit T four or five times to get several tabs going.
Alt-Tab 
I am also a compulsive c’n’p-er with the ctrl keys.
I use the keyboard most of the time since I have my mouse on the windowsill. I also use ctrl-tab in some of my programs to switch between child windows, or ctrl-1-2-3-etc.
I use tab to reveal/hide pallets in my Adobe progs, and the windows key has become my friend, especially win-E for my explorer and win-d to reveal the desktop (minimise all).
I use the home and end key more than anyone I know either.
Not that I, like, watch people typing much, but you know what I mean…
I use Alt-Tab, Control-N, and Control-W constantly when I’m surfing. Alt-Tab to switch between windows, Control-N to open new ones and Control-W to close them. Mix with liberal “Open in New Window” and you can manage insane amounts of windows.
The other major ones I use are Shift-Insert and Shift-Delete. Those are ancient shortcuts from the pre-Windows days and they’ve miraculously been kept around. They do cut and paste, the same as Control-C/Control-V. I find them much easier if you’re using the keypad to highlight text by holding Shift. Instead of having to use your other hand to cut the text, you can just hit the Delete on the keypad.
In addition to the ones listed:
Backspace to browse backward (can never remember the other key that does the same thing…)
Ctrl-] and Ctrl-[ to increase or decrease font size.
Ctrl-} and Ctrl-{ to increase and decrease indent (though I had to add those shortcut keys myself).
Ctrl-B, Ctrl-U, and Ctrl-I to bold, underline and italic.
Ctrl-Enter to page break or send an e-mail.
But I’m a big fan of Windows-M and Windows-E.
I’m a Mac user and I spend my days in FileMaker and Eudora, mostly, with iCab for browsing the web.
Command O (open)
Command W (close window)
Command Q (quit program)
Command N (new something, depending on context: document, folder, find request, etc)
Command S (save)
Command X (cut)
Command C (copy)
Command V (paste)
Command Z (undo)
Command I (get Information)
Command up-arrow [in Open/Save/Save As dialog boxes] (go to enclosing folder, up the hierarchy)
Command D [in Open/Save/Save As dialog boxes] (go to Desktop)
Command F [FileMaker only] Find Mode
Command L [FileMaker only] Layout Mode
Control-click (Mac equiv to right-click)(especially in iCab)
Command Y (put away something I dragged out onto the Desktop)
Command-Delete (throw something away, either Eudora or Finder)
Command-T (empty the trash, either Eudora or Finder)
Command M [Eudora only] (fetch mail from server)
Control Alt RightArrow [Eudora only] (go to next message)
Command Tab [FileMaker only] Go to next record, or next layout if in layout mode
Command Shift 2 (invokes marquee cursor to do a screen capture)
Command . {period} (Cancel something)
Command Alt Escape (force quit misbehaving program)
Who says only PC users like to use the keyboard more than the mouse?
Windows - E (Explorer)
Windows - D (Desktop) (Windows - M does similar, but needs the opposite hand)
Ctrl - S (Save)
Ctrl - Z (Undo) and sometimes Shift - Ctrl - Z (Redo)
Ctrl - C (Copy)
Ctrl - X (Cut)
Ctrl - A (Select All)
Ctrl - B (Bold)
Ctrl - I (Italic)
Alt - F4 (Quit)
F5 (Refresh)
F2 (Rename)
Outside of those, it’s rare that I’d use any, except for application specific ones like for ICQ (Ctrl - Shift - I, Ctrl - Shift - A, Alt - S, etc)
I forgot:
Windows - F (Find file)
and
Ctrl - F (Find word)
windows-L To switch between logins in XP. Until I finish my basement I’m sharing my SO’s computer and we dont like the same style of desktop.
ctrl-c/v For copying and pasting (i dont cut to much)
alt-tab, ctrl-n, ctrl-w,alt-F4,delete,end,page down/up, backspace(for browsing and typing),ctrl-s,ctrl-f(for looking for specific text on webpages).
On MY computer at home I use some of the fancy shortcut keys at the top. “Email” opens up Outlook. The one to the left of the big “Internet” button I use to open up Delta Force:Land Warrior. Thats it I think.
I use cut, copy and paste quite. Alt+Tab gets quite a lot of use too.
Ctrl+F to search for words on webpages.
Thanks all for the tips above, a couple of them will have to go into my standard repertoire.
For Word, I use CTRL-A all the time to select everything (A = All).
Like a lot of other people who have mentioned it, I use CTRL-C all the time, but instead of mousing to select all of the text, I left-click and hold the mouse button down while simultaneously pressing Page Up or Page Down to select the text. This is nice when the text you want goes on for pages.
In addition to CTRL-F for Find, CTRL-H is handy for Search/Replace.
I also use CTRL-Enter for a new page like NardoPolo.
Mr2001 is right, CTRL-Z is Undo and CTRL-Y is now Redo usually.
I’ve always felt that it’s a sign of savvyness if one is able to navigate through Windows without using a mouse. Sometimes that skill can mean the difference between a graceful shutdown versus a tragic one.
don’t forget Esc (Cancel buttons) and Enter (OK buttons)…
I use lots of the already mentioned keyboard shortcuts but I don’t think anyone have talked about Windows-R yet. That brings up the Run dialog and it’s the only Windows key shortcut I ever use. Typing a directory/program name in the Run dialog is much faster than finding the file in explorer, so that one is handy.
Oh, and Ctrl-+ and Ctrl-- (using the + and - on the numeric keyboard) zooms in/out in most Adobe programs.
Visual C++: F7 (build), F9 (set breakpoint), F5 (run in debugger), F10/F11 (step over/into), and F1 (API help via the MSDN library).
I don’t consider basic editing keys like Page Up, Home, and the arrow keys “shortcuts”, but there are useful combinations involving Ctrl and Shift for most of them.
You mean Alt-F4. Especially useful for closing pop-up ads.
Ctrl-Esc brings up the Start menu, just like the Windows key. I still use Ctrl-Esc because not all my computers have Wndows keys.
No - I use Ctrl-F4 all the time to close child windows. Try it sometime: open multiple documents into Word, Excel, or another program. To close one document but keep the others there, use Ctrl-F4. On the other hand, Alt-F4 closes the whole program with all of the individual documents simultaneously.
