CTRL x-i to insert a file into the file you have open
CTRL x-CTRL-f to open a new file

When you have more then one file open, CTRL-x b to switch between them

CTRL-k to cut a line from the cursor to the end
CTRL-y to paste whatever you last cut

CTRL-<space> to set a mark
CTRL-w to cut from the mark to the cursor

ESC-$ to spellcheck the word your cursor is on

there is no shortcut to spellcheck the whole file, you need to do

ESC-x ispell-buffer
