I can use a radarView to move around the world by pressing buttons - is there a way to enable moving around with the arrow keys?
I did a quick hack and got something working using normal keys but I couldn't work out how to ask a key down event if it's one of the arrow keys. What I got working was to modify 'handleAndForward:To:' in the handMorph traits. I added code on the keydown check with something like:
e metaIsDown && [ e keystrokes includes: 'j' ] ifTrue: [ world moveHand: self InWorldBy: -500@0. ^self. ]
I repeated this for the four keys I wanted for up, down, left and right. Ideally I'd like to use the arrow keys though since I'm clashing with some of the editor meta keys.

Have you tried using the scroller on your mouse/trackpad? This should scroll the entire world up and down. On the mac it also allows scrolling left and right (using two fingers on my macbook trackpad)
