I've been using it since it was called Mouseless Commander. I still use it
constantly.

Ah. Off the top of my head:

Alt-s - Incremental search (I use this every 3 minutes on average :-)

Ctrl-x a - Open VFS list. If an ftp session times out, you won't be able to
browse the site until you use this to free the open vfs so you can log in
again

cd /#sh:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Browse files on another system via ssh


Also, the F2-menu is awesome. Here's my favourite customisation, which
produces colourised diffs of files against the other directory:

+ t r & ! t t
d       Diff against file of same name in other directory
        if [ "%d" = "%D" ]; then
          echo "The two directores must be different"
          exit 1
        fi
        if [ -f %D/%f ]; then        # if two of them, then
          diff -up %f %D/%f | sed -e 's/\(^-.*\)/\x1b[1;31m\1\x1b[0m/g' \
                                  -e 's/\(^\+.*\)/\x1b[1;32m\1\x1b[0m/g' \
                                  -e 's/\([EMAIL 
PROTECTED])/\x1b[36m\1\x1b[0m/g' | less -R
        else
          echo %f: No copy in %D/%f
        fi

D       Diff current directory against other directory
        if [ "%d" = "%D" ]; then
          echo "The two directores must be different"
          exit 1
        fi
        diff -up %d %D | sed -e 's/\(^-.*\)/\x1b[1;31m\1\x1b[0m/g' \
                             -e 's/\(^\+.*\)/\x1b[1;32m\1\x1b[0m/g' \
                             -e 's/\([EMAIL PROTECTED])/\x1b[36m\1\x1b[0m/g' | 
less -R
        fi
