I probably use windows + D the most. Not sure what my favorite is. I really like middle mouse click to open a new tab, but that of course isn't a keyboard shortcut.

My MX1000's middle mouse button has been dead for a long, long time. I miss it.

Oh man, I have got to stop trying the button combinations I don't immediately recognize! As I've read this thread, I've locked my desktop and minimized all of my windows so far.

Command-Option-Control-8

Reverses your displays' colors in OS X. It's great, and freaks people out.

CTRL - T
Windows Key + D
Alt + Tab

Windows Key + E on old slower computers. :evil:

I hate when people use the Edit menu to copy and paste, especially when their left hand is already sitting on the lower left side of the keyboard.

Someone at work does this and it drives me nuts when I have to help her.

WIN + R, thought I'm slowly trying to get used to just pressing WIN, and then typing a couple of letters (I'm on Vista).

Ok, let's hear it, maybe we'll even learn something new!

My favorites are CTRL+T, WIN+L, and CTRL+SHIFT+HOME

What does CTRL+SHIFT+HOME do? Is that the same as ALT+HOME? Doesn't work for me on Opera. Is it program specific?
