Congratulations on discovering keyboard shortcuts, they are a superpower.
Three bonus items for you:
Command + C - Copy (depending on the program and whether anything is highlighted, this will copy the highlighted text, the current line, or even an image. Use this in the Finder to copy files.
Command + X - Cut. Similar to Copy, except that it removes the item from the source location.
Command + V - Paste. Places the copied/cut item at the current point of focus.
Something I accidentally discovered is that most of the Emacs-style shortcuts will also work on OSX - you may need an alternative keyboard to access the Meta (aka Alt) key, but here are some basics using Control:
Control-e: end of the line
Control-a: beginning of the line
Control-k: 'kill' (cut) everything from the cursor up to the end of the line
Control-y: 'yank' (paste) what you just killed
Control-h: delete a character backwards
Control-d: delete a character forwards
Control-n: next line
Control-p: previous line
Control-f: forward one character
Control-b: backwards one character
There are many more. To make the most of these swap your CapsLock key with Control (can be done in the Settings -> Keyboard -> Modifier keys...).

my favorites are cmd + f, and in code editor: cmd + shift + f (search whole project) and cmd + p (search file by name).
I had no idea about
command + shift + Forcommand + Pbefore! Thank you for sharing.Thanks Victoria. This is very helpful.
