Why are you rotating that much? Once a part is placed it should rarely need to rotate again and again. Unless you are using the rotate function to change your view upon the model in order to place a next part. But you should rotate the world for this not the model it self.
Version 1.1 will have multiple views including 'ortho' this will enable you to setup your interface much like e.g. mlcad.
You are right about the expected behavior of ctrl+a, I'll add it to the next version.
I don't know how to explain better, but the current copy/paste method is as it should be. The primary goal of copy paste is the exchange of LDraw fragments between programs using the clipboard (paste in notepad for example). It would be 'unexpected' if the rotation is removed by default. The copy does exactly the same as when you copy a section from the file after it's written to disk. Also paste works as expected when you paste in a new file, it only acts 'weird' when used in combination with the 'work rotation' used in LDCad, this is the reason I added the 'ins' key behavior for copying inside the same model. All I can do is add the fore mentioned option in the next version. Alternatively you could press ctrl+home to reset the selections rotation after paste.
You can already move parts using the arrow keys, be sure the editing pin is in move mode though, otherwise the arrow keys will apply rotation.
