I feel that it would be better if vs provides the context toolbar for each selected controls in design mode instead of searching properties and icons in the toolbar to change some of the properties.
Context toolbar would be popup near to control (as the tooltip comes) when the control being selected during design mode.

E.g. ALT+F, S to save, or ALT+B, U to build the current project, ALT+B, E to rebuild it, etc.
This ensures that I don't need to learn each developer's personal keyboard shortcuts when I am giving guidance at their machines.

Most useful ones, off the top of my head:
Ctrl-k,Ctrl-f (format)
Ctrl-r,Ctrl-r (wrap)
Ctrl-k,Ctrl-k (bookmark)
Ctrl-k,Ctrl-u Ctrl-K,Ctrl-L (clear bookmarks)
Ctrl-] (start/end of block)
Ctrl-Home/End (start/end file)
F7/Shift-F7 (toggle code behind/design view)
Ctrl-- (move cursor to previous location)
What's the shorcut for collapse/expand block again? 
Plus the standard ones: save, run, step through
Edit - how could i forget:
Ctrl-k,Ctrl-c (comment)
Ctrl-k,Ctrl-u (uncomment)

Ctrl+M, Ctrl+M
My most-used shortcuts (beyond the standard cursor and selection keys) are probably Ctrl+I (incremental search) and Ctrl+F3 (search forward current symbol / selection).

Awesome! I've been living in the dark all this time, just using Ctrl-D & Ctrl-F

Yes, Ctrl+I is cool, though often unreliable (in VS 2003 at least).

Talk about unreliable: in VS2005, search-in-selection will randomly "stick". Next thing you know, you'll do a search in the current document, and VS will stop after the first result (because it selects the first result, and then tries to search in that selection for the next result... )

Not even on a touch sensitive screen... but it's very effective for lowering my stress levels when the d*mn thing crashes again. Even more if used in combination with "yelling loudly".

I'm not really clear on what there is in VS to navigate. I mean, I doubleclick on the solution shortcut on my desktop, I edit code, I use shortcut keys to compile, fire up the debugger, etc. I fix the bugs. Where during this process am I "navigating" VS? About the only thing I use the mouse for is to add something to the watch window when debugging.
The only time I "navigate" VS is when I'm setting up a new install with my shortcut keys, fonts, etc.

I was a mouser when it came to VS.NET, the shortcut keys never stuck in my head. A co-worker though knew all the shortcut-keys and hardly touched his mouse.

I think the question is asking how you move between regions of code, different files, and the tool windows.
I make use of the collapsible regions fairly heavily. Edit->Outlining lists the shortcuts.
Ctrl+Tab is also useful for switching between open files and tool windows.
What would really be convenient is a shortcut for switching between the designer view of a form and the underlying code (a.k.a. right click a form and select "view code"). If a shortcut exists by default, it should be listed next to the command in the context menu.

Also F4 is a good shortcut to edit the properties for an object. Hit F4 twice and it will focus on the editable value for the selected property.

Try F7/Shift-F7 to switch between code and designer view

Then you mean at least once per hour, right?...

Indeed, at least once per hour. Often it's four times that amount. I don't know but VS2005 is a lot more unstable since SP1... At least for me
