Speaking of dyslexia, if you position the cursor between two transposed characters, a control-T will swap them.

Also, if you have a shorty wireless keyboard, you can emulate an Enter keypress with fn-Return, and do a forward delete with fn-Delete.

I haven’t seen anyone mention ctrl-T, another Unix text editor one. When the insertion point is between two characters, this shortcut transposes their position. So if you typed “ym,” move the insertion point between the two letters and press ctrl-T to change to “my.”

In OS X Lion with a US keyboard, switching desktops should be set to Control+Left and Control+Right, perhaps yours is backwards?

What about for those users who have multiple spaces/desktops like me. Using +Left or right arrow just brings me to the next desktop without selecting any text. Anyway to overcome this or am I just outta luck?

That’s also what I did. Still the Home, End, Page Up and Page Down keys are not mapped in all applications.

I’ve gone dyslexic over the Command & Control shortcut keys. Running out of fingers on my hands. Really tired of it.
