Tips and tricks
Peek at a card: Hover over a card and hit Shift + Alt (Shift + Option on a Mac). This will display an "eye" icon so other players know you are peeking.

Deal a card to each player: Right click on a deck, go to "deal," and press the center of the color wheel.

Draw cards from a stack of components, like a deck: Hover over the stack and press a number key. This works for double digit draws as well, just type the number quickly. Note that this only works if the mod you are playing has hand zones defined.

Change a die face to a specific side: Hover over it and press a number key to change to that die face.

Change Rotation Axis of an item: Hold down Alt and then press Q or E to rotate the object in a different axis.
