 De-select: CTRL+D.
 Free trasnform: CTRL+T.
 Show/hide rulers: CTRL+R.
 Levels: CTRL+L.
 Curves: CTRL+M.

 Show or hide all the palettes: Tab key.
 Reset default foreground/background colours: D.

				| I have to admit thats one I don't tend to use, I usually just click the new layer icon on the palette, or if it's a duplicate layer I just drag the one I want dup'ed to the new layer icon and do it that way.  If truth be told I'm not great at remembering the shortcuts with lots of keys involved lol.  Wayne |  |

				| When I recently picked up CS3 (recently enough to qualify for the free CS4 upgrade ;-) I was Googling around for this kind of info. I came across this site http://morris-photographics.com/photoshop/shortcuts/. He's got four-page cheat sheets for each of the last several versions. Very handy.
 I'll probably never use them all. First, anything requiring three or more fingers is out. I've got advanced RA and that kind of finger dexterity ain't in the picture. Besides, it's too much frickin' work and, to me, isn't a shortcut anymore at that point, not to mention being too bloody hard to remember.
 
 Two-key/key-and-modifier, and single-key are the ones I concentrate on. My printouts of the cheat sheet are well-highlighted in yellow by now with my favorites.

 Thanks for the link. I used to record the shortcuts when working with a friend photographer, but got lost long ago. A few two-key/key-and-modifier and single-key are the only ones I use.
