We all know basic keyboard shortcuts, like command+c, command+v and what they do, but here are a few tricks that will make you a Mac poweruser in the eyes of the regular mortals:

Command + W quickly closes the current tab on your web browser
Command + H hides the current application and all of its windows
Command + Option + M minimizes all your windows
Command + F3 pushes all your open applications out of the way so you can actually see your desktop
Command + a number helps you easily scroll through the respective tabs in your web browser, so you can quickly see what you need
Option+Shift+F11+F12 will lower or raise the volume in smaller increments than the typical volume symbols
Control+Option+Command+8 reverses the colors on your screen
1, 2, 3 will advance the youtube video you are watching to 10 percent completion, 20 percent completion, 30 percent completion, respectively (and so on and so forth).
Option+Delete deletes entire words so you don't have to hold down the delete key forever
Control+Command+D will define any highlighted word.
Control+Command+V pastes your copied text without including its formatting
Command+Up and Command+Down will make your scroll jump.
Control+Option+Command+Eject quickly shuts down your computer
