What are some cool button commands?

Command + H (hides application)
Command + M (Minimizes)
Fn + Control + F3 (brings up Dock and selector)
Command + A (Select All)
Command + W (Closes window)
Command + Shift + 4 then hit the spacebar (takes screenshot of selected window)
Those are some of the ones that I regularly use. Let me know if you want more, I use keyboard shortcuts way too often

You scared the hell out of me! Have you ever imagined what it'd be like to push the combo without knowing what it'd do while looking at your avatar?
Are you suggesting every single keyboard shortcut is useful or cool? Personally I only use most popular ones like Command-A/C/V.
Is it just me, or is it a little difficult to remember less used shortcuts?
I didn't suggest anything. I simply provided a link. Every keyboard shortcut is useful to someone. Whether they're "cool" or not is completely subjective. By providing the list, each can determine for themselves what is useful or "cool" to them.

If you've minimized an app, you can Cmd+Tab to it and hold Option to open the window instead of just giving the app focus.
My fave is "Cmd + ," It usually brings up preferences/settings in most apps.
Now that is something that would come in handy for me.
shift+option volume up or down, almost completely unnecessary
Wow, haha so pointless, I never even knew it did that.
control + option + command + 8
invert the colors on your screen, its a great way to piss off the kids at bestbuy because most of them are completely retarded with macs.

Ok.. this is not so much as a "shortcut" but its really cool!
In Mac OS X keep the shift button pressed during an initiated animated action like opening a stack or maxi/minimizing. Its real cool... and kiddish!
That is the COOLEST thing I've ever seen!!!
and the color shift avatar thing is terrifying. I'm going to do it to all the macs in my house now...
Aint it...?? I especially love the way my huge grid type stack fans out...
And I agree with bartelby... that definitely would've squeezed the wide eye fun!
