Overview
I noticed that there are quite a few keyboard controls that aren't listed in the config menu that would be pretty helpful to know about, so I've decided to document them in case anyone would find them useful.

For a more extensive look at the controls, take a look at the manual that's included on the store page:
Basic Keys
F1: Quick save
F2: Quick load
Q: Jump to previous choice
E: Jump to next choice
W: Brings up options
A: Auto mode
X: Forward once
B: Backlog
L: Switch language
Esc: Brings up options
Ctrl: Force skip (skips all text, even unread text)
Space: Hide text box
Enter: Forward once
Alt+Enter: Fullscreen

You can also use the arrow keys and enter key in menus and during choices.
Numpad Keys
With Num Lock on:
4: Jump to previous choice
6: Jump to next choice
8: Hide text box
2: Hide text box
With Num Lock off:
4: Rewind once
6: Forward once
8: Backlog up
2: Backlog down
Closing
These are all the keyboard controls that I've found that weren't listed in the config menu. Don't forget to look in the Keyboard section of the config menu for other relevant keyboard controls, such as C which can be held down (or pressed once if set as such in the config) in order to skip read text only or all text depending on the option selected in the General tab.

you can use the mouse wheel to unzoom the CGs. Yes they are zoomed in by default to match the new aspect ratio.

No way make space for forward instead enter?

@Meau94 it doesn't have to be the bottom left corner, it just has to be anywhere close to the text box

Another one I discovered today, if you place your cursor on the bottom left of the screen, hold click and then drag your mouse from left to the right of the screen, it will display arrows while fasting forward (until you've reached unread text), and vice versa, also rewinds if you click and drag it from bottom right to left. Where if you do this on the upper half of the screen, it will jump you to next or previous choice.

I've been messing around a bit and while this isn't a keyboard control, apparently clicking with both the left and right mouse buttons at the same time switches the language between English and Japanese

If you hold the left mouse button in the text box you also activate auto mode.

Thanks for this! These really should be documented somewhere in-game...
