* Space: Switch back to pointer from your current tool. * Shift+Ctrl+M: precisely transform things. * Shift+Ctrl+A: align and distribute things. * PgUp / Pgdn: move the object up / down in Z-order. * Ctrl+G: group selected objects, or ungroup a selected group. * Shift+Ctrl+F: fill / stroke dialog (if clicking on colors is not precise enough). * Cursor keys: move the selected object(s) by a small amount.
When frustrated, press Esc, click the text, Shift+Ctrl+T, edit the text in a convenient dialog. Press F2 to move nodes and make segments curved. Click on places where you want nodes, press Enter to finish. * Line / polygon drawing tool (Shift+F6). * Rectangle (F4) and circle (F5) are good starting points for most things. Does different things to rectangles, circles, stars, by moving their control points. Click-drag on a path to change curvature, or click on nodes to move / edit them, or ctrl+click to add a node, or drag the spline handles. * Node pointer, the triangle, shortcut F2.
Space bar switches between this tool and your other tools. Alt+click to select things under the object on top. Click-drag to select objects within a rectangle. Used to select, move, rotate, stretch objects. * An "object" is either a path, a constrained path (like a rectangle or a circle / arc), a bitmap, or a text, * A path has an outline (with color, line thickness, etc) and a fill (none, a flat color, or a gradient). * A "path" is a collection of nodes connected by Bezier splines nodes can connect them smoothly or in a cusp.
