Many of these hot keys are available in the HotKey menu, which gives you another way to look up the keys or execute the operations.

Model Positioning and Rotation
ArrowsTranslate model in X and Y, or translate clipping plane with Ctrl held down, or translate current point with Ctrl and Shift held down, if it is a scattered point.
PageUp/PageDownTranslate model in Z, or translate clipping plane with Ctrl held down, or translate current point with Ctrl and Shift held down, if it is a scattered point.
KeypadRotates model in X, Y and Z, or rotates clipping plane with Ctrl held down
Keypad-2/8Rotate around X viewing axis
Keypad-4/6Rotate around Y viewing axis
Keypad-3/9Rotate around Z viewing axis
Keypad-EnterToggle continuous rotation on and off (Keypad-5 may also do this)
Substitute KeypadThe key cluster centered on U can also be used for rotating the model or clipping plane (the Rotation tool provides another substitute to the keypad)
7/JRotate around X viewing axis
Y/IRotate around Y viewing axis: but Ctrl+U, not Ctrl+Y, rotates clipping plane
6/HRotate around Z viewing axis
UToggle continuous rotation on and off (follow with mouse action or keyboard entry that rotates model)
