Pressing Alt + Spacebar brings up the generic menu for an application window, where you can select to maximize/restore, minimize, move, or resize the window. You can choose "Move" and then move the window with the cursor keys, confirming by pressing Enter. You can choose "Size", then indicate which border of the window you want to drag by pressing a cursor key, and then resize the window with the cursor keys, pressing Enter to confirm the new size. These are good for all those mouse-haters out there, as well as people in tough spots with a broken mouse. Also, Win key + M minimizes all open windows; a quick way to get to the desktop (or hide what you're doing, ie. a boss key).
