I need to know how to regain my keyboard shortcuts. I pushed something and now I can not use any shortcut, ctrl-w, ctrl-n, etc..
 
System Preferences ->Keyboard and Mouse->keyboard shortcuts choose restore defaults.

If that doesn't help, I have had a few times where my keyboard shortcuts simply stop working for no reason. Logging out and then back in fixes the problem.
 
If you are referring to copy/paste/make new/close window etc, try using the command/apple key instead of the control key. Windows uses the control key as the modifier, while OS X uses the command/apple key.
 
Thanks!

I also spaced out their a little after working on a PC all day realized some of the shortcuts I was trying to use do not work on a Mac.
