What are you favorite OS X shortcuts?

[FearoftheNight]

Which ones are the handiest and make your computing "smoother"?

CMD+W, CMD+Q, CMD+H, fn+delete, are teh ones I can think of off the top of my head right now.

But all the shortcuts I used to use in Safari with InquisitorX were also great.

hmm I haven't used cmd+h much, perhaps should start doing so instead of cmd+w closing windows.

cmd + spacebar for spotlight
cmd + up arrow/down arrow, i think this is either page up/dn or top/bottom of page.

cmd + n in finder for new window (altho if I used cmd+h more I wouldn't need this as often)

ctrl + A to move cursor to beginning of line (doesn't always work)
ctrl + E to move cursor to end of line

cmd + ` to swap between open windows within the same app

CMD-Q - Quit app
CMD-W - Close Window
CTRL-1..4 - Switch Space
CTRL-Arrows - Switch through Spaces
CMD-~ - Switch through application windows
Middle mouse button - Expose
Fn-Right Arrow (MacBook) - End of page

Also, CMD+click to open a link in a new tab in Safari.
Side scrolling to scrub through video (not really a shortcut I guess)
CMD+ALT+CTRL+8 to mess with people
CMD+ALT+ESC to bring up the force quit menu (Think task manager in Windows)
CTRL+SHIFT+EJECT to turn off the screen

Forgot:

CMD-Shift-3 - Take screenshot
CMD-Shift-4 - Mark area for screenshot
CTRL-Mouse Wheel - Zoom in

You can set your own. By default, you use CMD+SHIFT+] & CMD+SHIFT+[. I however switched it using Keyboard Preferences to CMD+] and CMD+[.
