Mac keyboard shortcuts and other tips

I've just bought a Macbook (13.3" aluminium, 4gb ram, lovely | battery, non-backlit keyboard, less lovely) and cos I've always been a Windows user there's a lot that is new to me.

Before I give up and install Bootcamp I'll probably discover a bunch of things that I'll want to remember. So I'm going to record them here.

I definitely need a comprehensive reference to Mac keyboard shortcuts. I'm sure there are plenty out there.

It's amazing how disabling it is not knowing all the keyboard shortcuts that one's gotten so used to over time. I shall battle on :)

Here is a list of URLs with keyboard shortcuts.
