What keyboard shortcuts do you use the most?

I used to say that a lot too. Called it “AppleTalk”.
I use shortcuts all the time.

Command N (new folder/document)
Command S (save)
Command X (cut)
Command C (copy)
Command V (paste)
Command Z (undo)
Command H (hide programm)

I switch tools in Freehand via shortcuts, I even use custom shortcuts for various operations in Freehand and Photoshop.

And I use the F9-F11 keys for the handy Expose functions in Panther.

Am I the only one who uses alt+left arrow to go back instead of clicking the button?

Nope, I use this shortcut instinctively, in fact I have to think about using the mouse to hit the back button. Really comes in handy for me.

damnit, I’ll never figure this shit out… my apologies to emulsified for fouling that up…and if you don’t care, then…meh…

I generally only use CTRL+C and CTRL+v for copying and pasting. The only other one I use on any sort of regular basis is ALT+Enter for Windows media player to switch in and out of full screen mode.

I do a lot of copying & pasting at work (I’m a glorified database editor), then there’s Alt-Tab to switch between my work app (up to three variants of the same app), our intranet, the SDMB, and whatever else happens to be open. My most used job-specific shortcuts are Alt-N (next document), Alt-U (unit data), Alt-T (jumps cursor to Type: field), and Alt-F (forward).

CTRL+C and CTRL+V all the time…

ALT+S to send an email without reaching for the mouse.

ALT+Q to mark spam emails as “read” so that I won’t think that there is something in “Deleted Items” that needs my attention - using this one WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy too much at the moment.
