CTRL-w | and CTRL-W _ maximize your current split vertically and horizontally, respectively. CTRL-W = equalizes 'em.
Basic commands 'f' and 't' (like first and 'til) are very powerful. See :help t or :help f. is.gd/cCHy

ga will display the ASCII, hex, and octal value of the character under the cursor. is.gd/4xZW
[I (that's bracket-open, capital-i) shows lines containing the word under the cursor (via @nvie)
% matches brackets {} [] (), and with matchit.vim, also matches def/end, < ?php/?>, < p>/< /p>, etc. is.gd/N4W
:40,50m30 will move lines 40 through 50 to line 30. Most visual mode commands can be used w/ line numbers. is.gd/cCHy
In your ~/.vimrc, `set clipboard=unnamed`. Now all operations work with the OS clipboard. No need for "+, "* (via @panozzaj)
