http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=83736 is EXTREMELY useful. Everyone should be checking it out. Particularly for word processing, shift+end and shift+movearrow is very helpful. Also, windowskey + e is very very convenient.

I spent about 15 minutes experimenting with all the combination's there, at one point microsoft sam popped in for an appearance haha.

With the Opera browser you can browse almost completely mouseless.

When you hold down shift and press the arrow keys, you get a cursor that moves over all links on a webpage, enter opens the link, ctrl+shift+enter opens the link in a background tab, esc cancels your selection. This works faster on pages with fewer links obviously.

Ctrl+tab switch between tabs, ctrl+w closes tab, ctrl+t opens new tab, F2 opens the address bar. Alt+left/right goes back/forward a page. Scroll with arrow keys, pageup, pagedown, spacebar.

I have also defined different search engine shortcuts, i.e if I write "g starcraft" in the adress bar (F2), I google "starcraft", and if I write "wa 1/(exp(x) - 1)" I'm gonna get the graph for that function from wolframalpha.com

[quote]Anyways, say you just entered teamliquid and you want to check out one of the articles at the first page. That would require like 20 tabs... Pretty lame./quote]

I activated the "search what I type" option and just type the name of the article you want to read then press enter and is like if you clicked with the mouse for example when I see the name of this article I typed "Mouse" and it took me to the link, then enter and I am reading it, if there is more than 1 "mouse" you can type more of the name or CTRL+F --> ALT+N to look for the next one... I use a lot the keyboard, also the CTRL + # to move to that tab.
