    When using Firefox and you don't want to type in the www. and .com I use these...just type in the site name in the address bar without the www. and .whatever

    Ctrl + Enter - gives you the .com
    Shift + Enter - gives you the .net
    Ctrl + Shift + Enter - gives you the .org

    The first two work for IE too...:rolleyes:

    The most used shortcuts are,
    Ctrl+Z - I think I'm using it a million times a day :eek:
    Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V - How can I forget it :)
    Ctrl+S - I've many bitter experiences of losing my hours of work when my system hangs :(
    Ctrl+F,Ctrl+H - Not so frequent
    F5, Ctrl+F5, Backspace -Life savers for a net surfer
    Alt+Tab - To switch between IE, Fx and Opera when designing a page
    And last but not the least, the one and only CTRL+ALT+DEL

    ctrl + alt + delete
    ctrl + z
    ctrl + y

    And this isn't really on the keyboard but clicking the scroll ball on your mouse while over a link. (In Firefox)

    Also never press Shift five times fast on windows and then click ok. I hate sticky keys.
