Useful keyboard shortcuts

LTK:
I just found out that middle-clicking on an opened taskbar icon creates a new instance of that program, if possible. If you middle click on the preview window, it closes the program. I'm liking the middle mouse button more and more! Just too bad that it doesn't work on the minimized icons next to the clock, just the ones next to the start button, or whatever that thing is called nowadays.

sine-out:
Ctrl+Shift+Esc is a much nicer way to get into the task manager, particularly as it can be done with one hand and it directly opens the task manager.

I use the Tab key a lot, both in forms (like on the internet), but also for dialogues, Shift+Tab tabs backwards.

Obviously, like many, I use Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+V for copypasta stuff.
And Ctrl+Z is very useful for undoing in most programs and in dialogue/textboxes.

If I'm reading something on the internet, I often use the spacebar to scroll down, instead of scrolling or hitting the page down key, and, if I need to quickly go to the bottom or top of a page, End and Home makes the job much faster.

Zooming, I use Ctrl+=, Ctrl+- and Ctrl+0 (either on the number row or the number pad).

I also use other key combinations, but those are ones that tend to be specific various programs I use, and, as such, don't really apply in a general discussion. Either way, my aim is to use my mouse as little as possible, because I don't find it ergonomically comfortable compared to doing the task quicker on the keyboard

snalin:
About reading on the internet - a lot of picture pages and such allow you to use left and right to scroll to the next picture/whatever.
