Also if you love key binds as much as I do (my left hand goes instantly to WASD as soon as I sit down) you can go into settings customize under the tab key mapping and bind repeatedly used commands and functions to easy to use key binds for ease of access.
Most recently used bar is also great, as well as the mask function.
Also if you use different colors for solids (or geometry) you can use the Quick mask color selection to grab all entities of a certain color.
One thing I learned later on is Ctrl+mouse wheel will rotate about mouse pointer location, can make navigation a little easier if you work without a space mouse.
One last tip as I've seen people get bit by this before, if you go into your levels manager select "Main level is always visible" I cant tell you how many times after starting on MC that I would draw something and not be able to see it because the level I was drawing on was not visible.
