Control + C: Copy the current selected item(s)
Control + V: Paste in any copied items. They will appear at the current mouse position

Cursor Keys: Move the camera up, down, to the left and to the right of the plan.
"a" and "c": Rotate the camera anti-clockwise (a) or clockwise (c)
"1" and "2": Moves the cut line forward (1) or backward (2). Use the cut line to remove items that are blocking your view. Any items behind the cut line will not be shown.
"w" and "n": Make the viewing angle wider and narrower.
"+" and "-": make the camera larger (+) or smaller (-). Larger camera increases the area of the plan in your view. Smaller camera may ne needed when viewing smaller rooms.

When drawing the outline (i.e. the pointer shows "New"):

Escape: Holding down the escape ("Esc") key whilst drawing your outline will disable "Snap to grid". When you release the key, "Snap to grid" will resume. Also works when editing a complete outline.
Shift: Holding down the shift key will force the point you are drawing to snap to the nearest point, even if "Snap to grid" is de-activated. Also works when editing a complete outline.

When editing a complete outline (i.e. the pointer shows "Edit"):

F1/F2 (with one or more points selected): Radius the selected point(s). Defaults to 150mm radius. Press F1 to decrease the radius, F2 to increase. Both work in 10mm steps.
F3/F4 (with one or more radiused corners selected): F3 decreases the smoothness of the radius, F4 increases the smoothness. May be required on larger radii (over 600mm)
F7 (with a point selected): Selects the next point. Used to select multiple points.
F8: Grab Outline. Same as pressing the "Grab Outline" button on the toolbar.
F9 (with a single point selected): Only works on a corner that has been curved. Allows you to specify the exact radius. Same as right-clicking on a point and selecting "Specify radius...".
Control + Z: undo the last change to your outline.
Control + Y: Redo i.e. undo your last undo.
