Control-Alt-Right Open the desktop switching dialog, to go to the desktop to the right of the current one

Shift-Alt-Left Open the desktop switching dialog, to go to the desktop to the left of the current one, and bring the active window with you

[edit] Root menus

If you are running Openbox on its own (not inside KDE or GNOME), the following will be available by clicking on the desktop (a.k.a. root window):

Middle mouse button Open a menu listing all your windows
Right mouse button Open a menu for launching applications (You should customize this menu to your liking)

These may or may not be available if you use a program to give you icons on your desktop, depending on how it works.

[edit] Focus-follows-mouse

If you enable focus-follows-mouse, the default settings are to delay focusing windows you enter with the mouse by 200ms (1/5 of a second). This allows you to move across windows without focusing them.

[edit] Other configurations

There are a number of example configuration files here which demonstrate some different ways to use Openbox.
