Apple still only ships the MacBook Air with a single mouse button, so if you’d like a contextual (right) click you can either Control + Click or enable the mouse gesture: place two fingers on the track pad and then click the button.
Run multiple instances of VLC

Change file associations

This came in handy after “Smart Video Converter” hijacked my .mp4 associations from QuickTime! Also handy to set VLC as the default for AVI and others that QuickTime does not play due to missing codecs.
Close a tab in Safari (works for Chrome too)
Command+W
(closes the current tab)
Show all currently running apps/programs in Mac OSX Lion
command(apple) + option(one next to apple) + esc(that one in the top left…) will show list of open apps. and you can force quit them from there.
Press command+tab to see all programs that run in the dock.
Or use Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities).
