SketchUp 2013 Keyboard Shortcuts provides a summary of common SketchUp modeling tools and their associated keyboard shortcuts. Some key shortcuts include ESC to stop a command, CTRL+Z for undo, and spacebar to select objects. The M shortcut allows for moving or copying objects, R creates rectangles defined by dimensions, and L draws lines between clicked points or by specifying a distance. Other shortcuts include P for push/pull, T for measuring with a tape measure, and Q for rotating objects around a pivot point by entering degrees. The document recommends using zoom extents to ensure the entire model is visible.
