Hello
Many thanks for your kind and valuable inputs, There are certainly a number of different ways you can access commands and menu items quicky. If you press "F1" in DesignSpark PCB to enter the help files. Enter "Shortcut" you will see all the shortcut keys with descriptions. You will never need to know them all, but you will find the ones most useful to you as you go along. Thanks again for your feedback.
Best regards

You mentioned in the video that Atl-Backspace undoes a move action. The normal method used to undo any action in most Windows apps is to use Ctrl-Z - This also works in DesignSpark.
One standard keystroke combination that DesignSpark doesn't accept is Ctrl-A to highlight/select all elements - There is a menu option to do this via the Edit menu but keys are much quicker and it is sometimes useful to select everything then deselect a few components that you don't want to drag/move.
