Use the arrow keys to move the box around. I suppose that's still a bit primitive, but I'll make some more involved programs once I fix up the scoping model a bit.
When I first started on this project, I thought at some point I would need to make a "zoom out" feature, because you might end up making a lot of nodes in one function. However, I have never needed this. As soon as you have too much stuff going on, you can just box-select some things and hit the "Join" button to get a new function. The restricted workspace actually forces you to abstract things more, and the lack of syntax allows you to reduce repetition more than would be practical in a textual language.
For example, in textual languages, reducing repetition often requires you to introduce intermediate variables, which could actually make the program's text longer, so people will avoid doing it. However, in my language you get intermediate variables by connecting two sinks to the same source. The addition in program length hardly noticeable.
