And I navigate among interface elements, tabs, windows, apps, desktops, etc. - all with my keyboard. I'm obsessed with interfaces that don't torture me. I've tried all Windows interfaces, several linux window managers, and Sun. OS X lets me get more stuff done. And it only took me a few weeks to become a keyboard ninja in OS X because it is well designed. I use my own custom-defined emacs-like text-editing keyboard shortcuts in all cocoa apps.

Many good ones were mentioned here. One I don't think I saw mentioned, that is one of my faves, is ALT+SPACEBAR+X, which maximizes the selected window. Also, the often-ignored Run dialog (opened via WINDOWS+R). A great way to use this dialog to its full potential is to make your own run commands. What you do is make a shortcut to the item you want to open (a program, directory, whatever). Then rename the shortcut to what you want to type in the run dialog to launch it. All you have to do is put the shortcut in C:\Windows and you're done. Open the Run dialog and type the name of the shortcut, and off it goes!
