I use tab and shift+tab to move forward and back all the time

Probably the most useful keyboard shortcut for me in a browser other than Ctrl+T (new tab) and backspace (back).

It works in pretty much all input fields too ... Windows input fields, etc. So useful to be able to progress in forms without having to take your hands off the keyboard.

And now Tibby presents- Win7 shortcuts!
(Shamelessly ripped from Steve Clayton)

Win+Down: Restore / Minimize
Win+Left: Snap to left
Win+Right: Snap to right
Win+Shift+Left: Jump to left monitor
Win+Shift+Right: Jump to right monitor
Win+Home: Minimize / Restore all other windows
Win+T : Focus the first taskbar entry
Win+Space: Peek at the desktop
Win+G: Bring gadgets to the top of the Z-order
Win+P: External display options (mirror, extend desktop, etc)
Win+X: Mobility Center (same as Vista, but still handy!)

Hmm, a lot of those Win7 shorcuts are looking like they'll be handy. But I hope win+home doesn't replace win+d, the home key is too far away to be convenient.

I can't be the only one who knows this, when typing a web address in you can just type the middle part in (such as google, instead of google.com) and hit
Ctrl + Enter to add http://www. to the beginning and .com to the end.
Ctrl + Shift + Enter to add .org
Shift + Enter to add .net

Win+L - Locks computer (useful at work and uni)

I've also met a lot of people who didn't realise that in tabbed browsers, clicking a link with the MMB will open it in a new tab.
