The origin of my question was related to WoW only, because I thought this was WoW specific keybindings. But it turns out to be more general configuration, so my question was edited.

These are the default keybindings. They can be changed using the keymapper.
Note: If you're using a Mac and are having trouble with the function keys, you may need to set your F keys to function as function keys. You can do this by going to System Preferences > Keyboard, going to the Keyboard area, and checking the 'Use all F1, F2, etc' box.

ALT-ENTER | Switch to full-screen (and back). |
ALT-PAUSE (ALT-F16 on OS X) | Pause emulation. |
