Have you ever tried to click TAB key in Photoshop ?
Do It Now ! it hides all the toolboxes and gives a wide area for editing .
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Press F7 to hide / unhide Layers box ( try F6,F9 too )
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Create custom shortcuts
Have you ever thought to automate some repeating tasks here is the way
For Example I am going to automate the process of opening new file with fixed hieght and width .
Look at layers panel and select Actions Tab
Click " create new action " Icon at bottom
In pop up box name this action and select a shortcut and finally click record button
now go to file>new
select size and properties
press OK
A new file will get opened now again go to layers panel Action tab and click "stop recording "
Test your shortcut with keys you have assigned

All you people may know it already but i got to mention it .
To organize big projects ( with a lot of layers ) photoshop provides facility to create sets of multiple layers ( look at bottom of layer box , the folder icon )
Tips with Sets :
Select a Set , press V to select move tool , now use arrow keys to move all layers in a set at once .
# Select a set , press ctrl+E to merge all layers in a set

Please focus on one aspect of photoshop while giving tips. The whole tut was so unorganised and unreadable. Though, that's just my opinion.

[For instance, TAB key hides the toolbox, and pallettes, while Shift+TAB hides just the pallettes. you should try to complete each and every aspect of the topic you are explaining]
