I have access to a Bloomberg Terminal for 3 months, what are some necessary keystrokes to learn from it?

I am sort of use to it, and I have a very basic knowledge of how it operates, but what are some important things to know about a terminal in regards to investment banking? I have seen their "Bloomberg University" cheat-sheet on Investment banking, but I feel like those are just basic keystrokes that I could easily pick-up. Suggestions on what I can learn, or more in-depth functions of a terminal that are helpful for banking?

Just got to Bloomberg University and get certified. The videos are a great way to indoctrinate you on using the terminal. Also, as mentioned above, being able to use the excel plugin is a big productivity boost.
