That's exactly what I was thinking - the footprint editor is horrible in that aspect.
You don't have to hold "M" to move, it picks up the component when pressing.
The shortcuts in general are not as nicely placed as Altium, e.g. Zoom-to-fit (Home) is very awkward. Sure you can change that, but stuff like this requires a lot of time and the setup will be incompatible with other people (and one might have to adapt it on the next update, etc.).
