Use the timeline scrubber or frame field to move precisely. Add key, Delete key, Copy key, Paste key, and the previous/next key buttons edit timing. In the collection, choose genuine poses and set Frames per pose before Create pose sequence. Quick motion adds position keys.

Delete or reuse pieces: Delete and Backspace work from the canvas and the Pieces list. Copy, Cut, Paste, and Duplicate use Ctrl on Windows or Command on Mac. Copying stays inside the editor. The action bar beside the canvas provides buttons too.
Delete a complete canvas: Delete scene beside the scene tabs removes its entire canvas. Delete animation beside the animation tabs removes all pieces and timing in that clip. If it is the last one, a blank canvas remains in the same format. One Undo restores everything. Ctrl/Command+Shift+Delete or Backspace is the shortcut when you are not typing.

The 1 px precision button is available when a modifier key is inconvenient.Scene, art, and file controls With Select, double-click a dialogue box to edit right on the canvas. Enter adds a new line.
