Using the in-game menu, you can quickly bind any key combination to almost any action or unit command. Advanced key binding can be performed by editing a configuration file.

Alt + GLevels terrain to the height of the ground at the clicked location.
Alt + HRaises tall spire to give high ground advantage for units like Crab.
Alt + JMakes a deep hole, which can be useful for hiding in a pinch.
