When grid snapping is enabled, nudging moves a whole grid cell at a time. Hold Alt to disable this and nudge 1 pixel again.

When editing tilemaps using the Tilemap Bar

To paste objects in-place (so they paste at their original positions, instead of relative to the mouse), hold Shift while placing a paste. The full process is: Ctrl + C to copy an object; press Ctrl + V to turn the mouse to a crosshair, hold Shift and click, all objects paste at their original positions (instead of by the mouse) and the mouse returns to a normal cursor.

When editing timelines using the Timeline Bar

Quick assign origin and image points

Shift + Crop button or Alt + Shift + C Crop entire animation
Shift + Mirror button or Ctrl + Shift + M Mirror entire animation
Shift + Flip button or Ctrl + Shift + F Flip entire animation
Shift + Rotate Clockwise button or Ctrl + Shift + R Rotate entire animation clockwise
Shift + Rotate Anticlockwise button or Ctrl + Shift + L Rotate entire animation anticlockwise

Animations only

If no tracks are selected at the moment of pasting, the keyframes will be added in their respective tracks.
If there are tracks selected at the moment of pasting, an attempt is made to paste the keyframes into the tracks they would fit best. If there are keyframes in the selection which can't be fit anywhere, they are ignored.
Hold Shift with any tile drawing tool to temporarily switch to the Select tool. Releasing Shift returns to the previous tool.
Hold Ctrl with pencil tool to erase tiles
Hold Ctrl with eraser tool to erase single tiles
Hold Ctrl with rectangle tool to erase tiles in the drawn rectangle
