This is quite an undocumented feature, here is how it works:
Show login screen (without logging out):
#!/bin/bash
# Show the login screen (without logging out)
#
# From: www.chipwreck.de
/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend
Switch current user (replace 501 with the correct UID):
#!/bin/bash
# Switch to another user without logging out - replace 501 with the uid of the user you switch to
#
# From: www.chipwreck.de
/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -switchToUserID 501
Via Shell this way:
#!/bin/bash
# Toggle Finder showing hidden files
#
# From: www.chipwreck.de
value=`defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles`
if [ $value == "TRUE" ]

When editing text or code it is quite often very useful to jump to the beginning or the end of a line, or to move the cursor one page up or down..
Unfortunately the keys dedicated to this task (home/end/pageup/pagedown on a windows-pc) have got a different meaning on a mac: Page up/down scroll one page up/down – without moving the caret (cursor), home/end move to the beginning/end of a document – also without moving the insertion point.
