Here's mine:
[url=http://www.enchanted.prohosting.com/temp/Rob's%20Actions.atn]Rob's Photoshop Actions[/url]
Here are the keys:
F2- changes brush cursor to brush shape.
F3- changes brush cursor to icon.
F4- makes a thumbnail version of your image at 128 pixels in height.
F5- brings up Brightness/Contrast control.
F8- rotates entire image counter-clock wise
F9- rotates entire image clock-wise
F10- flips entire image vertically
F11- flips entire image horizontally
F12- flattens all layers
F12+ctrl- fake flatten(adds a flattened version of your image as a new layer, while keeping all the old layers.
(For making web versions of my paintings)
F6+shift- resizes image to 800 pixels in height.
F7+shift- resizes image to 800 pixels in width.
F8+shift- resizes image to 600 pixels in height.
F9+shift- resizes image to 600 pixels in width.
Okay, whacha got? |

| Good thing to put on a function key (F-11 in my case) is "Purge All" - especially when your machine is slower, and/or when one is working on huge images. A lil purge can be quite helpful speedwise to keep things flowing ... |

Well, Mr.Banghole, it nukes the history, purges the clipboard, clears the undo buffer and gets rid of the last pattern you defined ... 
A simple look in the 'purge' menu reveales those 'secrets' ... hehe 
Putting "Save Selection" on one of the F-keys is pretty cool too - saves going to the menu ...
Looner: changing the cursors can also be done via the 'caps-lock' key ... |

I created some Pshop actions some time ago and mapped them to the quickthingy bar of my wacom, but dumb as I am I formatted my hdd and forgot to backup the actions 
I still have my custom quickthingy bar that I printed out lying in my wacom, but I didn�t remake the actions yet. |

some nice actions on this page as well as a ton of useful info.
For instance, I've been using PS since 1995 (version 2.5) and I never knew you could move a selection marquee with the spacebar while you are creating it until I read this site last week 
There is also a PDF there of all the PS shortcuts you can download and printout, it is more comprehensive than the one Adobe provides. |

I went and created my own set, complete with keys. Based on a set from that website I mentioned above, but drastically altered to fit my own workflow:
If anyone wants to grab the action set to alter it for their own setup you can grab it here
