hit meh! with your leet keyboard skills (the mouse is so 20th century)

If you've got keyboard shortcut tips -- on Windows, Firefox, other popular applications, please share them! The less I have to use a mouse, the less pain I'm in.

Shift-F10 is, if I recall correctly, the keyboard version of right-clicking. It is very helpful to know that there's a way to do that with both keyboard and mouse.

Just curious -- why Ctrl-F over Page Down? Less need to move the hands? On my keyboard Page Down is halfway to the mouse, practically...

Since I spend most of my days in emacs (where the concept of "pages" means little to nothing), incremental search is almost always faster when chugging through medium-large files than manually paging down. It's a habit that liberally spills over from my largely text-processing-oriented computer experience :-)

ETA: If one considers that every time one reaches for a mouse a "cache miss" or a failure of my input design, then the arrow keys and the Insert::Page Down keys are roughly half failure in my mind.
