Switcher

In May, I made the switch to a Mac. A Macbook Pro to be exact. I've been using it now for a few months and I really like it. I got Parallels to go with it for my Windows apps that I still needed, but I find myself using it less and less. One thing that has thrown me for a loop is the keyboard shortcuts. I'm very well versed in using keyboard shortcuts in the Windows world, but I'm finding it hard to remember all of the Mac equivalents. These are the ones I forget the most often:

CTL+F2 - > Menu bar gotten by using Alt
CMD+Shift+3 -> Print Screen
CMD+Shift+4 -> Print Screen w/ being able to select the area to capture
CMD+Shift+z -> Redo
CMD+Left Arrow -> Beginning of line
CMD+Right Arrow -> End of line
CMD+Shift+A -> Start Menu

I really do miss my home, end, page up & page down keys. I also miss being able to hit Win+E to get a new explorer window, I've yet to find a Mac equivalent.
