hmm, not that I use them all the time but things I know are like

- Mousekeys (use your keyboard (particularly the number page) as a mouse) by pressing left Alt+Shift+NumLock and hitting ok

- When I'm in a browser I use backspace to go back a page

- When I need to go to the end of a line (like, adding tags, etc) I press end, or to go to the bottom-right of a page I press ctrl + end

- When I'm typing text and make a mistake, instead of moving my mouse or holding backspace to change it I'll hit Left Arrow + ctrl

- When text is too small on my browser I hit ctrl + '+'

- I use alt + d to quickly type addresses in firefox

- I use alt + tab to cycle through open windows

- I press winkey + M to minimize all windows (good for watching porn)

so many that I don't feel like typing right now

^Most likely the desktop, or wherever you have set your computer to save files.

2. The greatest computer secret that everyone should know about (http://www.google.com)

3. Skaterscafe has a serach bar thats free to use and easy to find. Each great skatercafe memeber and staff member wants you to use it.

You really can't help but to agree with those 2 I added.

Just hit F6 it goes right to it, then you can shave a whole button press off!

yeah plus if you minimise it it will probably still say something porn related on the task bar.

What you really dont wanna happen is to have nothing on the screen and jsut be sitting, leaning over with some tissues on the desk. uihh yeah :(

The only shortcut i really use a lot besides the obvious ctr z and y
is ctrl T to open a new tab
