To help figure out how the keyboard is laid out, type /keyboard.  The 
window that appeared will show you all of the current keys and their 
functions.

Hitting ctrl+t will open one of your character screen the one with your 
stats.  At the bottom there is a button labeled Options.  It is there 
that you can turn on a second and third hotkey bar (usable via alt+# or 
ctrl+#).  As you progress and your number of spells/ weapon styles 
grows, you will want them.  There is also a "Sprint" hotkey that you can 
take from your third character window.  Put that where you can easily 
reach it.  Sprinting can get you out of a dangerous situation, it is 
endurance (The green bar between your hit points and your power level) 
dependent.  No endurance means no sprinting.  Endurance regens quickly 
if you sit after a fight.  All weapon style need it as does a bow shot 
by an archer, so keep an eye on it.
