More keys

F1 opens this help. Edit ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts… (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+K) shows the same list inside the app.
With the canvas in front and no text being edited, a letter key picks a tool: V Selection, A Direct Selection, T Type, W switches Preview on and off.
Holding Space gives the Hand tool while another tool is active.
In a dialog, Enter is OK and Esc is Cancel.
On a master item, Ctrl+Shift+click overrides it on that page (see Pages and master pages).
