The same as Paul, simple, and efficient :)

Ctrol-Apple-D - looks up the definition of any word your mouse is hovering over

there are keyboard shortcuts? shoot! I just switched to Mac, forgive me :)
- Zach Landes
Ctrl-space (the default setting to activate quicksilver). If you like keyboard shortcuts, and you haven't tried quicksilver, I would highly recommend it. Basically you activate the app, start typing and it searches applications, bookmarks, documents, and all sorts of stuff (all customizable), and gives you a list of them in a window, and then a list of available actions, like 'open', 'send e-mail', 'calculate', or 'look up in dictionary'. Really cool, and free.

ctrl-space with quicksilver. without quicksilver it would be shift-apple-4

Kevin, Thanks for the cntl-opt-cmd-8 tip. I was just getting annoyed in this coffee shop trying to find the cursor in google docs. This command just solved this for me.

Another reason why I like friendfeed for procrastination. It even helps my work! heh.

Just in case any of you have yet to find them all, open Keyboard ShortCuts in Keyboard & Mouse Preferences.

Apple-Tab for me. BTW, Ctrl-Apple-D does not work on all words, for example, fails in twirl for me. Otherwise, I didn't know that option so THANKS!

command(apple)-shift-/ opens help, and help goes and finds every other command in every application. i use it like i drink water.

Ivan: the dictionary service will only work in Cocoa- or Carbon-based applications. Non-cocoa/carbon applications like Twhirl (based on Adobe AIR) don't have access to it. One of my major sticking points in using ported applications.

I use the 'capture' dashboard widget for screen capture. It has some additional options, like choosing how to save it (jpg,tiff,png,gif,pdf) the size (in pixels), and the quality. Pretty handy.

Thanks @Amit. From the guys that do Quicksilver. Nice. (Though ^⌘⌥8 is easy, and I don't want to stay in that mode for a long time. Just enough to give my eyes a break.)
