Here i'd like to add common usecases when working with IDA Pro

Finding strings

SHIFT+F12 (or View -> Open Subwiev -> Strings) => generates a list of all strings found in image

Finding values (data, addresses, ...)

ALT-I (or Search -> immediate value...) => enter the value to find, e.g. a memory location address which you suspect to be loaded into some register somewhere, or any other value.

Check "Find all occurrences" to let IDA go through whole image, instead of finding the next one.
