Selected shortcuts and short commands

I find them very useful. And I omitted some common ones. I also want to make it as memorable as possible. When you think of a task, you'll think of the shortcuts, it'll increase your productivity so much. But someones are just, weird... How did they pick the letters...
Alright, I give up. ct for ctrl, sh for shift, ta for tab.

Ctrl+Alt+D = show desktop in windows, and if you do it again, the programs just come back ( d in desktop)
Ctrl+Alt+right arrow (left arrow) : move to the right (left) virtual desktop. (When holding down shift, your active application goes with you to the other virtual desktops.).
Ctrl+E = Send To... (Send the current document to an email recipient or remote location, not in terminal) (e for email)
Ctrl+Q = Quit (Quit the application, not in terminal) (Quit...Obviously)
Good one : ct sh t : open new tab in terminal

Ctrl + Alt + F7 = Switch to current terminal session with X
Ctrl + Alt + F1 = Switch to the first virtual terminal (remember the above binding first!!!)
Ctrl + Alt + F2(F3)(F4)(F5)(F6) = Select the different virtual terminals
(Special things, no explanation needed)

Command line / Terminal shortcuts:
Ctrl+C = Kill process (Kill the current process in terminal, also used to copy elsewhere) (close probably)
Ctrl+Z = Send process to background (someone suggest an answer?)



Ctrl+A = Home (Move cursor to beginning of line) ( answer needed)
Ctrl+E = End (Move cursor to end of line) (e in end)

Ctrl+U = Delete current line (I know it is undo in emacs :) )
Ctrl+K = Delete current line from cursor (kill)
Ctrl+W = Delete word before cursor in terminal (Terminal only, also used to close the current document elsewhere) (kill Word)

Ctrl+R = History search (Finds the last command matching the letters you type) (...reverse?)
Shift+PageUp / PageDown = Scroll terminal output
Ctrl+L = Clears terminal output (cLear ...)




nautilus / gnome:

ctrl-h : show hidden files ( Hidden)
ctrl-t : move to trash (Trash)

f9 : toggle side-pane (I'll skip the function ones)
alt-home : jump to home folder
alt-enter : file / folder properties
alt-f1 : launch applications menu
alt-f2 : launch “run application” dialogue

ctrl-alt - right/left arrow : move to the next virtual desktop


Firefox / Thunderbird

ctrl-d : add to bookmark
ctrl-b : bookmark tab
ctrl-y : downloads
`: find as you type link
/: find as you type text (How useful. I didn't know that!)

ctrl-m or ctrl-n : new message (Make New messages)
ctrl-o : open message (Open)
F7 : turn caret browsing on or off
ctrl-e : edit as new (edit)
ctrl-l : forward (why...)

F9 or ctrl-t : get newmessages (add shift, you get messages for all accounts)

F: next message

N : next new

shift-c : all read

j: mark as junk

r: mark as read

F8 : toggle message window

ctrl-k : firefox search field (?)

ctrl-l : firefox address bar (Link?)

ctrl-pgup : next tab (left to right) (I wish they had easier ones. pgup and pgdn are just so far from the center of the keyboard)

ctrl-pgdn : previous tab (right to left)

ctrl-u : view page source (?)

Oh, these are very useful. It makes your surfing experience so much better.
Hold shift and scroll up and down. It changes font size with firefox, opera, IE7. Try this out now. No more eyes-popping staring at the screen trying to read some good article.
As a site builder, it's just impossible to find a size good for everyone. So we gotta do it ourselves.

Space and shift + space to scroll down and up a page. I like this one very much too.

Commands:

tty
Print the name of the terminal in which you are typing this command.

finger user_name
System info about a user. Try: finger root

df -h
(=disk free) Print disk info about all the filesystems (in human-readable form)
