You interact with objects by clicking on them with the pointer and either drag them around or access their properties panel, that is displayed when you select an object. Some objects can be rotated, by right-clicking them and dragging the mouse.
Pinching on your trackpad handles the zooming in or out.
esc of course interrupts any activity in progress and delete removes the selected object.
Keys left, right, up and down move the selected object for a little bit, for fine positioning.
