About Miro and its shortcuts
Miro is an infinite canvas, so its keyboard is mostly about moving and placing: panning and zooming, picking a tool, creating sticky notes and frames, and arranging what is already there. The tool letters and the zoom-to-fit command are what make a large board navigable.
Miro runs in a browser and as a desktop application, with the usual difference in what the browser keeps. Some commands only apply while an object is selected or while a particular tool is active.
