Canvas navigation

The arrow keys and numeric keypad move around the map. With a room selected, an arrow key nudges the selection; holding Ctrl navigates to the room in that direction, creating one if none exists; holding Ctrl and Alt resizes the room; and holding Shift follows a connection. With nothing selected, the arrow keys scroll the view. The numeric keypad navigates in all eight directions.

Two more keys act on the whole map: Enter opens the properties of the selected room or connection, or - when nothing is selected - selects the room nearest the middle of the view; and 0 selects the start room. The mouse wheel zooms (hold Ctrl for finer steps), described in §5.
