Here is a list of some of the keyboard shortcuts you currently have at your disposal. These are the defaults. There is a way to customize these, but it is currently not intuitive. Basically you need to edit the '''accelrc''' file in your synfig settings directory (don't forget to remove the ";" at the start of a line if you want it to be taken into account).

The file refers to the glyph names of each key, these can be found here: [https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/agl-aglfn/blob/master/glyphlist.txt] (more information here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Glyph_List])
