good squatting form cue
would it be that as long as you keep your back straight, go below parallel, and do not feel the weight shift on your toes or fall backwards, then you're definitely squatting with right form?

No. If the bar's in the right spot on your back, and your knees don't go forward farther than they're supposed to, and you keep the bar in the vertical slot you're talking about, and shove your knees out, you probably can't mess up much else. But you need all of those things to happen, and you need to stay tight (not just in the back) and not go too low.

And besides knees not going forward too much, ensuring that they complete their forward travel in the first half of the descent. I'm able to do pretty much all of what Adam said above, but still have difficulty with the knees continuing to move later in the lift. Though perhaps that leads me to neglect some of the above as well.
