I use CTRL-Left/Right to navigate to previous/next measure. It's another quick way to navigate around a project, in a more precise, controlled manner

Ha..yes, #1 most useful shortcut of all time.
Hit it twice and you're out of your program and logged off W10 in about 2 seconds flat

I used to use a laptop with a second display.  I kept the Track View on the left and the Console View(MultiDock) on the right.  I'm now using a single display.
 
So, my new favorite shortcuts are 'D' and 'Shift+D'
 
Open the Console View in the MultiDock.  Press 'Shift+D' to maximize the MultiDock.  After that, pressing 'D' toggles between the maximized Track View and the maximized MultiDock.

Funny you should mention that one..easily overlooked.
I recently became a fan of a simpler, less "Info overload" view and began leaving the Browser, Inspector and any floating windows or dock views ..closed.
Less clutter. Easier to concentrate.
 
In such a case, D, Shift+D as well as B and I become your best friends. It's instinctive now and I don't need to leave all the stuff open all the time.

I could probably think of some others, but these ones really helped once I learned them.
  • The numeric keys 0-9 for switching screensets. 
  • numpad 3,6,9 to nudge forward, 1,4,7 to nudge backward
  • ctrl+shift+page down, next marker and ctrl+shift+page up, previous marker
  • i, open/close inspector
  • b, open/close browser

Yes, I forgot to mention those. I use them a lot. Nudging applies both to clips in Track View as well as notes in PRV.

Also the 2 and 8 keys in the numpad for nudging up and down (again for both notes and clips).

Ctrl+g and shift ctrl+shift+g to go to the beginning or end of the selected clip.

Ever since I unwittingly and unknowingly pressed 'O' and struggled on, confused, with a totally skewed Sonar, I try touch the keyboard as little as possible.
