| Space + drag | Pan temporarily |
| Enter | Finish a polygon, wall or path run |
| Escape | Cancel the current operation; in Select, clear the selection |

Live 3D preview
Focus the small preview before using its camera shortcuts. ↑ / ↓ / ← / → rotate, Shift + ↑ / ↓ / ← / → pans, +/− zooms, and 0 resets the view. These affect the preview camera, not your map geometry.
Focus the preview’s move handle to reposition the window with ↑ / ↓ / ← / →. Shift + ↑ / ↓ / ← / → moves it further; Home returns it to its starting position.
Focus the bottom-right resize handle to change the window size with ↑ / ↓ / ← / →. Each step is 10 pixels, or 40 with Shift. Home restores the default size. Enter or Space opens the size picker. Escape cancels an active move or resize drag.
