Here's one that I like:

If you depress the Control Key, then Command-Shift-4 (I use middle finger, thumb, index finger - in that order - of my left hand and depress the 4 with my right index finger) the selected are is copied onto the clipboard to be pasted in another application such as Photoshop, Word, etc.

The control key bit was added in 10.2.

You don't need to press command _first_. Press command-shift-4 (with your left hand), then drag your selection, and hold down control as you let go of the drag.

That'll put it on your clipboard without having to take your hand off the mouse :)
