Sorry I've corrected my previous post .... its like that : ctrl + click a file and then draging it creates a copy of that file.

ctrl + shift + click a file and then draging it creates a shortcut of that file.

in IE:

ctrl + h opens history
ctrl + f opens find window
ctrl + i opens favorites
ctrl + p opens print window
ctrl + b opens organize favorites window
backspace goes to previously viewed page

edit:

ctrl + n opens a perfect duplicate of your current page
(i think it is perfect because if you write in a textbox, all of its content will be copied)
