Hide/Show the UI
This works exactly like it does in Word of Warcraft, pressing ALT+Z will hide your interface. Pressing again the same combination will show the UI again.
Reloading the UI
If you experience any problems/glitches with the UI, CTRl+U will force unload/load your interface which, in most cases will resolve any issues with the it.
Show/Hide FPS Counter
If you want to check out how many FPS you have, you just need to press CTRL+SHIFT+F. A small counter will appear at the bottom left of the screen, which will show you the current FPS count. You also need to know that the FPS counter has 2 color codes: if it's green that means your video card is limiting the FPS, if it's red, that means your CPU is limiting your FPS. This is useful if you're experiencing FPS spikes and you want to know the cause.
Toggle Autorun/Walk
The default key for this is NumLock (or Mouse Button 4) but you can bind it to whatever key you like.
Skip in-game cutscenes
Some of you will want to skip some cutscenes, mainly because you played that class in the Beta and you already know a part of the story. This can be easily accomplished by pressing the SPACE key to skip to the next dialog without hearing the full story.
Conversation retries
When you are in a conversation, and you make a choice that didn't give you the desired result, as long as the conversation is active, hit ESC. It resets you to the beginning of the conversation. (credit Techhund)
Turn On subtitles
By default, SWTOR comes with the subtitles turned off. I personally like to turn them on, so I won't lose any details that I may not understand or hear. You can easily do that via the interface options.
And lastly, don't forget to bind your keys. If you're a W S A D player, then you can easily bind adjacent keys to your abilities/actions such as: Q, E, F, R, Z etc. Don't forget that you can use multiple key combinations for your binds, using the ALT , CTRL and SHIFT keys (CTRL+E, SHIFT+F etc). It's also a good idea to assign some keys for your companion's Attack and Follow actions.
