Pointmap remembers where you were. Open it again and it goes back to the last page you had open, at the same zoom, with the same point selected. A drawing always opens with Select on, whatever tool you were using.

Press ? on a drawing to see every shortcut. A few to start with:

  • / or ⌘F: search the pages.
  • Z and X: the previous and next page.
  • = and -: zoom in and out. The arrow keys move around the drawing.
  • ⌘Z: undo.
