My fav is Ctrl-alt-shift-4. This is particularly helpful when going to a crowded event. It makes ALL the avies disappear (including you) allowing the vendors to rezz. You can still cam around and buy what you want, but moving is almost impossible since you cannot see yourself. You CAN press the same thing and bring all the avies back again and move somewhere closer and then press it again to get the vendors to rezz. This can be REALLY helpful in large, overcrowded events.

@Daniel: Actually, CTRL T doesn’t do that since a long time, it was one of my most used shotcuts that got killed by Viewer 3’s Toolbar
