- Ctrl: Temporarily enable full control
The simplest explanation is that this will hold your priority until you manually give it up. You may have noticed the game automatically tapping mana, giving your opponent priority as soon as you play a spell, or continuing to the next phase on your turn if you have no cards in hand or don’t have enough mana to play anything in your hand. Basically, it’s telling your opponent that you have nothing to do. This is beneficial when you want to bluff having something in hand and can wreck their plans. Shock or Negate, for example. This stops that for the turn you activate it on. - Ctrl + Shift: Permanently enable full control
The same as just plain old Ctrl, except it turns full control on for the whole game (or until you turn it off again). - Z: Undo
Works for any actions you can cancel out of, but also for mana abilities like untapping a land you manually tapped. Sadly, unlike in paper, you don’t have the ability to undo much and the chances you have disappear after you lose priority. - Enter: Pass the turn
This does what it says on the tin. Basically, it lets the game know you forfeit your priority on the turn in the current game state. You’ll get priority back if your opponent plays something before your turn is done and changes the game state, however. - Shift + Enter: Pass the turn unconditionally
Unlike the previous shortcut, this one will forfeit your priority no matter what happens the rest of the turn. I’d suggest only using this if you aren’t planning on playing anything else your turn no matter what or are playing against someone who is combo-ing off and you can’t or won’t answer. - Space: Pass priority
Basically the same as clicking “Next.” It doesn’t work when priority isn’t in the equation though, like with un-counter-able actions. This is pretty underused but it can really save time over the course of a match. - Display the turn phases
This is technically on by default, so this allows you to turn the little phase icons on and off. - Q,Q: Float all
Double tap Q. This is a shortcut that you may have seen in the gameplay settings and didn’t really know what it was all about. And no, it does not mean that Arena can be used as a floatation device in the event of a water landing. It means to tap all your land. It comes from the game lore concept that the mana you activate is floating in your mana pool prior to use. This is extremely helpful in times when you are maxing an X cost spell as much as you can or playing Wilderness Reclamation in a Temur Rec deck. - Hold Q: Float stack
An extension of the QQ command whereby you can hold Q for a second or so then start clicking stacks of like mana sources. They’ll all be auto-used when you let go of the key. - Right click: Zoom in on a card
The game will automatically zoom into a card on most occasions when it’s on the stack or on the battlefield. However, there are other areas (hand, graveyard, library, exile) where zooming can be useful. Right-clicking on the card will do this for you in those other areas. - Shift + . (period): FPS Counter
If you’re troubleshooting other things, displaying your FPS can help. - Ctrl + . (period): Move FPS Counter
ctrl + .(period) moves around the fps counter to different positions on the screen if you don’t want it in the bottom right - Tab: Cycle chat
This will bring up your current friend chats. Repeated presses cycle through all of the chats you have and then close them once you reach the end of the list.
