Snip tool is great and gets a lot of use

Not a standard shortcut, but I set up text replacement on my phone to change “@@“ to my personal email and “@@@“ to my work email.

ALT+SHIFT will switch between keyboards if you are multilingual or are needing special characters when addressing a foreign client or coworker. You do have to download the other keyboards, and if using a standard US QWERTY you have to learn where the other characters are, but I often use it when emailing or sending teams messages with my Spanish and Norwegian contacts.
