shortcut keys bindings are specific to the desktop environment you run. i started with KDE, so i like their bindings. the ones i use most are those to switch between vitual desktops and switch between aplications

alt+tab: tab through applications
shift+alt+tab: tab through applications in reverse order
ctrl+tab: page through vitual desktop
shift+ctrl+tab: page through vitual desktop in reverse order

i have started useing gnome a little, but the first thing i did was set up the shortcut key bindings to act like KDE.

im sure a google search of KDE shortcut key binding or gnome shortcut key bindings will give a more complete list.

The shortcut keys in linux are distro specific.
Its all depends up on the type of distribution you are using now and then.

Some of the shortcut keys that iam familiar in RedHat linux Gnome desktop are

<Ctrl><Alt><Fn> ( n = 1 .. 6)
- Is to get into the linux CUI mode.

<Ctrl><Alt><Fn> ( n = 7 .. 12)
- Is to get into the linux GUI mode back again.

<Ctrl><Alt><+>
- Is used to change the next X-Server resolution.

<Ctrl><Alt><->
- Is used to change to the previous X-Server resolution.

<Ctrl><Esc>
- To show the table of process running on my system.

<Ctrl><Alt><l>
- To lock the desktop
