Cursor rightMoves the current control point one pixel to the right
Cursor upMoves the current control point one pixel upwards
Cursor downMoves the current control point one pixel downwards
PageUpMoves the current control point 16 units upwards
PageDownMoves the current control point 16 units downwards
Ctrl-Cursor leftDeselects the current control point, selects the previous control point
Ctrl-Cursor rightDeselects the current control point, selects the next control point
Shift-Ctrl-Cursor leftSelects the previous control point, adding it to the current selection list
Shift-Ctrl-Cursor rightSelects the next control point, adding it to the current selection list
Pos1Deselects the current control point, selects the very first control point in the displayfield
EndDeselects the current control point, selects the last control point in the displayfield
Shift+Pos1Adds all control points to the current selection which lay between the current control point and the first control point in the displayfield
Shift+EndAdds all control points to the current selection which lay between the current control point and the last control point in the displayfield
