Terminator for Linux - most important shortcuts

After being "forced" to use Ubuntu at work, I've got a tips about a great terminal-program called "Terminator". After using it for some while I started searching the web for keyboard shortcuts to speeding up the day-to-day tasks.
I've collected some of the shortcuts here, if I've forgotten any - please do let me know:
  • Ctrl+Shift+X - Toggle between showing all terminals and only showing the current one.
  • Ctrl+Shift+O - Split terminals Horizontally.
  • Ctrl+Shift+E - Split terminals Vertically.
  • Ctrl+Shift+Right - Move parent dragbar Right.
  • Ctrl+Shift+Left - Move parent dragbar Left.
  • Ctrl+Shift+Up - Move parent dragbar Up.
  • Ctrl+Shift+Down - Move parent dragbar Down.
  • Ctrl+Shift+W - Close the current terminal.
  • Ctrl+Shift+T - Open a new tab
  • Ctrl+Shift+Page Up - Goto previous tab
  • Ctrl+Shift+Page Down - Goto next tab
  • Ctrl+Plus (+) - Increase font size. Note: this may require you to press shift, depending on your keyboard
  • Ctrl+Minus (-) - Decrease font size. Note: this may require you to press shift, depending on your keyboard
  • Ctrl+Zero(0) - Restore font size to original setting.
The Terminator application is great for other tasks as well, such as doing the same work on multiple windows at the same time, but more about that later...
