There are several keyboard shortcuts:

_PgUp_ and _PgDn_ will scroll the screen vertically. This is useful for
creating long stacks of blocks.

You can use the arrow keys to move blocks and the _Delete_ key to
remove an individual block from a stack.

_Enter_ is the equivalent of clicking the _Run_ button.

_Alt-C_ is copy and _Alt-V_ is paste. Be sure that the cursor is
highlighting the block(s) you want to copy.

You can directly type notes using _d_ for `Do`, _r_ for `Re`, _m_ for
`Mi`, _f_ for `Fa`, _s_ for `Sol`, _l_ for `La`, and _t_ for `Ti`.
