The one you can't afford to miss:

    Command-`	Activate the next open window in the frontmost application

On a related note: Use BetterTouchTool to re-bind four-finger upward swipe to tile/untile open windows in the frontmost application, and re-bind four-finger side swipe to activate the next/previous open window in the frontmost application. The default actions for those gestures are useless, IMO.

I didn't see him mention Control-L for putting focus on the location bar in Chrome and other web browsers. I use that constantly.

Also, hitting control-return in the omnibox will prepend "www" and append ".com". For example, you could type theoatmeal and hit control-return to be taken directly to www.theoatmeal.com.

Many of the Mac shortcuts don't work. For instance,

  F9 - Tile or untile all open windows
does nothing on my Snow Leopard. Perhaps he's referring to an older version of Mac OS X?

If you are on a laptop, or a keyboard with global application shortcuts on the f buttons, you might need to hold down the 'fn' key at the same time.
