You missed two big ones on Windows:

  • Win: Opens the start menu. Type in almost any application on your system and hit enter to start that application.
  • Win + X: On Windows 8 and newer, opens a menu of administrative shortcuts (pops up from the bottom right of the screen), including quick links to a number of useful settings pages, task manager, and PowerShell (or CMD if you've configured the system to show that instead).

Switch between two applications

Alt + Tab allows you to switch between all applications, not just 2! There's also Windows + Tab which works in a very similar way, but allows you to also switch between virtual desktops.

Fun fact, if you've got a touch-screen, you can get to the same app-switcher UI by swiping in from the left side of the screen. The really neat part is that this even works in many full-screen applications that otherwise capture all keyboard and mouse input (for example, VirtualBox in full-screen mode).

In Windows Ctrl+V is paste and Ctrl+P is print in most applications.
