Philo, Leo,

part of those requests indeed have also been made by me a while ago and are
fairly difficult to implement - patience is of the essence i suppose :)

Leo, it seems that the +Y / -Y axis get inverted or are inverted for some
reason: I had to manually invert my shortcut settings to correct the issue
(temporarily) unless i am mistaken. From a top view, pressing the top arrow
should move a part or model to the far end of a scene, but does the
opposite... My settings are included in the conf file I have sent you
earlier.
