I've found that most standard keyboard shortcuts work; control s for save, control c for copy of highlighted text, control v for paste, etc.

This one isn't quite as easy, but it's pretty useful:
Open a terminal and type 'lshal | grep perc' to see exactly how much battery you have left (the tiny icon in the notification bar isn't very helpful).
Alternatively type 'lshal | grep batt' to see all the battery specs.
Note that you'll have to use Fn + Sym to type the '|', unless you've remapped the keyboard like me :)

When in the browser, use the volume rocker switch to zoom in and out.

Or, to avoid hitting the switch, wipe screen clockwise/anticlockwise to zoom in/out.
