Are there any other good keyboard shortcuts? Like Windows Key + M or ALT + F4

Winodws Key + Right or Left in Windows 7 for multi-monitor setups to send window to 2nd monitor.

Alt + D also works for this

 

[Gooberlx2]

Ctrl + End..................Go to end of line (in most text boxes/notepad like apps)
Ctrl + Home...............Go to beginning of line (same as above)

I'm pretty sure you don't need Ctrl for those.

With Ctrl it will go to the end of the file / beggining of the file. Without Ctrl it just does end/beginning of the current line

On single monitor:

Win+left............half size left
Win+right..........half size right
Win+up.............maximize
Win+shift+up.....vertical maximize
Win+down.........restore

Yeah, perhaps OP made a typo.

 

[JackBurton]

Shift + F10 = right click

 

[Red Squirrel]

Hold on windows key + E on slow computers. Makes them go faster.

While this one is on the list VIAN linked to, I still think it is important to know

ALT + Up arrow = go up a directory

Since MS got rid of the "go up a directory" button in Explorer with Vista and 7 I use it all the time

Good to know. That pisses me off about vista/7 don't know why they always remove stuff that is useful.

I've always used CTRL L for this too.

ctrl + L uses the open dialog box though, not the inline address bar.

in terms of text manipulation:

ctrl + right/left arrow = moves cursor word by word
ctrl + up/down arrow = moves cursor paragraph by paragraph
shift + right/left arrow = selects text character by character
shift + ctrl + right/left = selects text word by word
shift + ctrl + up/down = selects text paragraph by paragraph
shift + home = selects text from cursor to beginning of line
shift + end = selects text from cursor to end of line
shift + ctrl + home = selects text from cursor to beginning of document
shift + ctrl + end = selects text from cursor to end of document

*edit* oh, and i can't forget

ctrl + A = select all

These are handy and I use them often but you're missing ctrl + g = goto line (very useful when debugging).

Also Win + D = give focus to desktop.

 

[Barfo]

win + shift + M maximizes all windows and it's a nice complement to win + M

See also http://windowshelp.microsoft.c...-0373fcf862391033.mspx which tells you how to make your own shortcuts (to start programs). I personally like to change the Notepad shortcut (under Start -> Programs -> Accessories) to launch with Ctrl-Alt-N.
