The text/default_keys.xml file in the main.pack archive defines the default key bindings. Each user can supply their own file custom_keys.empire_keys.xml in the %APPDATA%\The Creative Assembly\Empire\ directory. Note that these are in XML format.

Modes in each key binding set:

battle
campaign
all

For a given key binding, a leading (SHIFT) means that the Shift key is optional, SHIFT- means that it's required. A trailing (repeat) means that holding down the key long enough to start it repeating will invoke the command multiple times. Alternate key bindings are separated by the / character.

keyset fps

These are the key bindings for the "First Person Shooter" set.
