Move is V. Click selects, drag moves, eight handles scale, the top handle rotates. Shift adds or constrains. Alt-drag clones. Corner dots round a rectangle.

Select a layer row, then Ctrl+[ or Ctrl+] to reorder it. Add Shift to send it to the back or front of its group. Each reorder is one undo.

Ctrl+T puts the selection into Move with scale and rotation handles ready. Live text stays live. Shape parameters stay editable. The command is also under Object.
