Was watching "ZBrush 2018 - ZBrush Guides: Make it Happen in ZBrush! with Pablo Muñoz Gómez - Episode 3". He showed how to smooth without shrinking by +shift, +LMB, +ctrl, -shift. Nice feature, though as far away from being intuitive as it gets.
Say I found this combination somehow and trying it out. If I would test it on slightly sculpted sphere, I would not be able to tell the difference from default smooth behavior.

It was something similar for polish or trim to stay on averaged surface without crossing over creased edges.

So I was wondering if there is a tutorial/article/list covering these hotkey-brush-modifiers?

    Yes, you'll find everything you need to know about Zbrush in its extensive official documentation......you know....that one place where nobody seems to bother looking anymore when they want to know about a program they are learning....... ;)

    From the docs:

    A new Smoothing Algorithm

    The Smooth brush includes an alternative algorithm, added to create a better result on the poles of the topology of the model (when a vertex shares 3, 5, 7, etc edges).

    To access this new smoothing mode:

    1. Press Shift and start smoothing.
    2. Let go Shift without releasing the mouse.
    You will also find a full list of every single hotkey used in Zbrush in that same mysterious location.
