C-a, C-k are probably my most used shortcuts on the mac

My favorite is that those can combined with the shift key, to get native highlighting. So Ctrl-Shift-a works like Shift-Home on windows (and Ctrl-Shift-e for Shift-End).

So you can do C-s-a and C-s-e, followed by cmd-C, to copy stuff to the native clipboard.

(Kill and yank (C-k and C-y) work too, but not across applications.)
