I asked KiCad to renumber the components on
the schematic. What I didn't realise is that it turns the PCB

of the components are then in the wrong places, with wrong
connections. Is there a way to recover from this, or do I have
to delete all the components and tracks and start again?? Is
there a way to prevent the disaster, other than not
renumbering?
I have another question: is there a way of
printing the list of keyboard shortcuts? Since it is an HTML
page in the on-line manual, I can't see how to do it.
Fortunately, KiCad saves backups. Look in your PCB project
directory. You should have a folder of zips called
"<Project_name>-backups".
For the hotkeys, find where the KiCad configuration files are
stored. I guess on Windows, it would be somewhere close to:
%AppData%\Local\KiCad
..or
%AppData%\Roaming\KiCad
In there you should find text files called:
Eeschema.hotkeys
KicadFrame.hotkeys
..etc
