On my machine, the start page was not displayed properly even before the
patch for STEP files, so it's probably a different issue with HTML rendering.

There are indeed no keyboard shortcuts by default for creating cercles,
rectangles, etc. in part design. But you can still configure them in
"Tools -> Customize -> Keyboard -> Sketcher".
Maybe these shortcuts are missing because the version we are currently
using is not an official release (because of compatibility issues with
boost, opencascade-occt and vtk) and there's a bug in it, or maybe
upstream decided not to set them by default anymore...
