The default key bindings for Openbox 3.4 are as follows:

Alt-F4 Close the active window
Alt-Space Show the client menu for the active window
Alt-Tab Cycle between windows on the desktop
Alt-Shift-Tab Cycle between windows on the desktop in reverse order
Control-Alt-Tab Cycle between panel and desktop windows on the desktop
Windows-D Hide all windows to show the desktop
Windows-E Run the Konqueror file manager (This is an example of how to run a program with a key binding)
Alt-Escape Lower the active window behind other windows, and activate the last window that was in use
Windows-F1 Go to the first desktop instantly
Windows-F2 Go to the second desktop instantly
Windows-F3 Go to the third desktop instantly
Windows-F4 Go to the fourth desktop instantly
Control-Alt-Left Open the desktop switching dialog, to go to the desktop to the left of the current one
Control-Alt-Right Open the desktop switching dialog, to go to the desktop to the right of the current one
Control-Alt-Up Open the desktop switching dialog, to go to the desktop above the current one (This will only be useful if you use a pager to set up a desktop layout with multiple rows)
Control-Alt-Down Open the desktop switching dialog, to go to the desktop below the current one (This will only be useful if you use a pager to set up a desktop layout with multiple rows)
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
Shift-Alt-Right Open the desktop switching dialog, to go to the desktop to the right of the current one, and bring the active window with you
Shift-Alt-Up Open the desktop switching dialog, to go to the desktop above the current one, and bring the active window with you (This will only be useful if you use a pager to set up a desktop layout with multiple rows)
Shift-Alt-Down Open the desktop switching dialog, to go to the desktop below the current one, and bring the active window with you (This will only be useful if you use a pager to set up a desktop layout with multiple rows)
Alt-Left mouse button Move a window
Alt-Right mouse button Resize a window. The window is resized towards the edge that the mouse is nearest to. So use Alt-Right mouse button in the top right corner of a window to resize that corner.
Alt-Scroll wheel Change desktops forward and backward

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.

There is an example configuration file for using focus-follows-mouse with more suitable bindings, which don't raise windows as often.

There is also an example configuration file for vi-styled bindings (by Clay Barnes).
