Sure, you can point and click on everything if you feel strongly about it. But you can really zoom through the game by learning some or all of the following hotkey shortcuts.
Video: Best Hotkeys
So here is a little video I threw together to showcase some of the more important hotkeys you're going to be using on a regular basis.
Hotkeys: Camera Controls
Camera controls operate the camera that controls your first-person view of the world. Using these keys, you can dolly, zoom, strafe, and rotate around the map.
Hotkeys: Gameplay
These are miscellaneous gameplay shortcuts.
Hotkeys: Data Overlay
You can access a number of data overlay maps using a shortcut or two. You can even cycle through all of them.
Hotkeys: Menus
Quickly bring up menus.
Hotkeys: Resources
Resource maps are incredibly important when first setting up your game in determining where you're going to put your RCI zones and your ploppables. These shortcut keys are very handy.
Hotkeys: Roads
After you have selected which road you are going to lay down, you can swap between road types (curved, straight, box, etc) using just shortcut keys. This will allow you to draw out your city very fast.
Hotkeys: Speed
You can accelerate how quickly your city operates by jacking up the speed to "cheetah" or pausing the action entirely.
Hotkeys: Sandbox
When playing in sandbox mode, there are several keystrokes that turn off and on certain features. Additionally, [ALT] + [W] will add $100,000 in money to your coffers.
