I don't know of an official list, but I ran across this thread over at the official forums which lists a bunch.
::Posted by Peter Ebessen in that thread.::

These are the ones I remember (well, OK, I copied a list from Stonewall and added a few )

Province Commands
a = Build AA
n = Build infrastructure
i = Build factory
l = Build land fort
c = Build coastal fort

Unit commands
. = Cycle Through Divisions
, = Reverse Cycle Through Divisions (',.' are useful for cycling through divisions within the same unit)
PgUp = Cycle Through Units
PgDown = Reverse Cycle Through Units (PgUp/PgDown is most useful for a quick tour through all units rather than individual divisions - units on transports are shown hidden in the deepest Africa )
l = load to ship
u = unload from ship


General Commands

ctrl+ = Speed Up
ctrl- = Slow Down
+ = Zoom In
- = Zoom Out
\ = Find Province/Nation (? instead of \ on some keyboards)
tab = Chat in MP
pause = pause
HOME = Centre on Capital
F1 = VP and mission standing (in battlescenarios) on main screen
F6 = Go to the ledger on the last page you viewed
F10 = Menu
F11 = Screendump to file ScreenSaveXXX.bmp (does not work in ledger)
PrtScrn = Screendump to clipboard (does work in ledger, but you'll have to paste it somewhere not to lose it)
F12 = Open Console and enter commands, trigger events, or cheat outrageously (in SP)
Also, ctrl+1-9 will designate control groups as in an RTS game.

Thanks! You'd think they'd have something in the manual or readme about it.

What's the hotkey for "Panic"?I'm playing Spain and I managed to stay Republician Spain and now in late 1940 the Axis declare war on me! Actually I was preparing to attack Gibralter but there went that idea down the tubes.I'm still think of a couple of years down the line of attacking Vichy France and pulling the Allies in with me. :wink:
