Also note that one can press the 1-8 keys to toggle amongst the 
tools, e.g. "4" for text or "1" for pointer.  As well, pressing the 
letter mnemonic, e.g. "T" for text and "S" for shape will change to 
that tool, but only while holding down the letter.

These may only be available in the pro version though.  (All the more 
reason to buy it as it and the other mouseless editing functionality 
is pretty sweet.)
