When playtesting it would be nice to be able to place your character using the keyboard, 'mimic-style' after you hit F5.

The starting point for placing Beethro could be the last point you playtested from, so if you just want to test from the same spot, F5 followed by 5 would complete the action.

Also nice, but probably more work, would be to be able to select regions for scripting commands such as 'wait for monster at'. This could be done with mimic style placement as well, but with the change that once you've placed the cursor on one corner, you can hold shift and move to the other corner of the selected region. A benefit of this would be that you can examine the area you selected more easily, and adjust it until it is exactly what you want.

In general more keyboard support in the editor would be nice, since the game itself tends to be more keyboard centric and the editor VERY mouse centric. In general thats pretty natural, but there are a few areas of the editor (as mentioned above) where I miss the exactness of keyboard control.
