Yes, there are some, her is a list of the Business Rules Editor shortcuts we know about. This list might not be complete.

Ctrl+L	Deletes the current line
Ctrl+C	If nothing is selected duplicates the current line
Ctrl+]	Find the matching close parenthesis and moves the cursor to the end or beginning.
Shift+Ctrl+]	Selects the whole string between matching parenthesis and moves the cursor to the end or beginning.
Ctrl+Space	Shows the Intellisense window for that specific item (use when you want to see Intellisense, of course after you lost it 😊).
Space	Autofill from the Intellisense when you are in Intellisense window.
Ctrl+U	Change to lowercase
Shift+Ctrl+U	Change to Uppercase
Ctrl+M	Collapses all collapsible regions
Ctrl++	selects the full word, the full line, the full block … (always one step larger)
Ctrl+-	deselects the full word, the full line, the full block … (always one step smaller)
Alt+<cursor up>	Moves a selected block one line up
Alt+<cursor down>	Moves a selected block one line up
Ctrl+t	Switches the char left and right from the cursor
Shift+ Ctrl+t	Switches the words left and right from the cursor
Ctrl+i	Instantaneous searches forward while typing a word
Shift+ Ctrl+i	Instantaneous searches backward while typing a word

Christian,

Fantastic post. Some additional shortcuts I was taught by ManasviR at Finit

1) Modify multiple lines of code at the same time:

Hold down the Alt key and drag a box around the code you want to modify:

Change all lines simultaneously.

2) Shift + Insert: Creates a duplicate of the current row (no need to highlight the row)

3) Shift + Delete: Delete the whole line that user is currently on (no need to highlight the row)

4) Ctrl + i: This will search for whatever is typed (similar to the search box).

Press Ctrl + i and the find icon will appear
Type the value you’re searching for and it will find the first occurrence from where your cursor was prior to the search and highlight the value. The find icon will continue to remain active.
Continue pressing Ctrl + i to find the next occurrence(s)
