You simply cannot consider yourself a real power-user if you can't navigate through windows with ease. And nope, I'm not talking about Microsoft's sorry excuse for an operating system.
I'm talking about moving between those little boxes on your screen. Without a mouse.
How, you ask? That's where the Application Switcher comes into play. Press and hold the "Command" key, then press "Tab." You should see a row containing all the applications you've got open (in 10.2 or older your dock should highlight an application instead). From here, you can now either press "Tab" again to move your selection right, or press the key above it (actually called an "Acute") to move it back left. This is a real easy way to change applications.
But what if you don't want to switch applications? That's easy! For flicking through the windows of a single app, press "Command" and "Acute" (look earlier if you didn't catch what that is). If you accidentally pass the window you were meaning to find, then try "Command" + "Shift" + "Acute." Pretty amazing, right?
If that strikes you as a bit basic, don't worry, things'll get better.
