Here is a list of some of the keyboard sortcuts 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.

<Delete> Deletes the currently selected canvas. (CAREFUL! There is currently a bug which makes this work in just about any context! ie: if you are editing a parameter and press the delete key, it will delete the layer! this can be easily undone, but just keep it in mind)
<Cursor Key> Nudge the currently selected duck(s) one pixel in the given direction
<Shift>-<Cursor Key> Nudge the currently selected duck(s) ten pixels in the given direction

Hotkeys Visual Guide

A good way to learn all this shorcuts is putting them in front of your eyes all the time. Because of that, we are working to bring you a beatiful "Hotkeys Visual Guide" that you can use as a poster.

Here is the first draft, in A4 version. Give us your feedback and comments.
