Context matters
Copy, paste and delete follow the focused editing context: canvas, timeline frames or reference image. Focus the canvas before copying pixels. Esc cancels an active operation before deselecting.
During a floating paste, Enter confirms and Esc cancels; arrow keys move it and Shift + arrows moves it farther. Timeline selection uses Shift-click for a range and Ctrl-click for a toggle. Ctrl + wheel over the timeline adjusts thumbnail size.
