The common ones that I use are:

Numpad 6: show patrol zones (for subs/ASW)
Z: show search arcs
W: show hex control (useful for determining if you have an enemy unit surrounded or not)

I believe there's a comprehensive list in a summary sheet PDF that showed up on the forums about a year ago...

Page 17 and 18 of the Manual has a list, although it doesn't include all of the number keys.
