I select parts.
I can move them using the keyboard arrow keys.
I click on frame or start.
I finish framing or engraving. The parts are still selected.
The parts no longer can be moved using the arrow keys.
I have to reselect them to have them respond to the arrow keys. ???
This is just a guess based on my experience so if it’s wrong, hopefully someone will chime in. I’d like to know too.
It seems like the Lightburn “sections” are independent of each other.
So when you say you select parts in the drawing area, they move. You then move to the sections on the right (if layout is defaulted) to frame or cut, which now puts the focus on that area so the arrow keys now function as a part of that, as in arrows would move the machine itself (if that actually worked, doesn’t for me and others), so after cutting you would need to put the focus back on the drawing area to move the parts again.
I don’t know how to do that without it deselecting the selected parts which means you would have to select them again anyway.

Just hover over the selected items and when the cursor changes to the move cursor, do a single click without moving anything. Then the objects have the focus again.
Yes, that’s because all those are different windows (that are combined into the main window). And if you click into one window, the other windows lose focus. If you clicked on frame, you are now able to use keyboard controls in the laser window, but not in the draw window anymore.
