I have a Mac with a wireless keyboard that doesn't have pgup, pgdn, home, or end. How do I do raise, lower, raise to top, & raise to bottom on the keyboard? It's cumbersome having to go into the menu everytime I want to raise/ lower an object.

I'd look into creating new shortcuts for those operations.
The user-programmable keys are in the Preferences, but not very intuitive.

Ok, I figured it out, so I'll share for anyone else having this problem.

Raise/Lower is fn+top/bottom arrows
Raise to Top/Lower to Bottom is fn+left/right arrows

Hope this helps someone out! 😁
