Unreal Engine Hotkeys
Here you can see some of the default hotkeys. Abbreviations are as follows. Right Mouse Button : RMB. Left Mouse Button : LMB. Middle Mouse Button : MMB. If you are looking for something else, look through the docs. If you are having trouble with something, you can hit up /r/unrealengine or the UE4 AnswerHub. You can also look through and edit your Unreal Engine bindings in the Keybindings Editor, see Edit > Editor Preferences > General > Keyboard Shortcuts. See links below for main documentation:

Sources: Unreal Engine Docs, and from testing in Unreal Engine 4.7.2. Inspiration for this post comes from ivilus's post on reddit; I was surprised people were coming to reddit because they couldn't find Unreal Engine hotkeys. I hope this post helps in solving that problem.
Note: The formatting for this page is still being finalized, so some things may be moved around a little. I'll also be adding more default shortcuts.
