I'm constantly in front of a computer at work, so it's absolutely essential that I depend on keyboard shortcuts to make my work processes much more efficient.. and to keep myself sane. Beyond the well-known Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V commands, I hope you find something useful in this list that you can start using right off the bat. Don't be selfish and contribute to the list! Shortcuts of other well-known applications are welcome.
