Mac Transition/Slow Performance

Hello - I am a long-time CorelDraw user and am trying to transition away from Windows in Parallels to running natively on the Mac (MBP 2019 i9 32GB ram) soon to be transitioning to an MBP M1 Max. I have some issues with key shortcuts but mostly have bad performance problems I am hoping someone can help with.

First the performance issues, I have a drawing, and almost every time I select something I get the spinning beachball it just takes forever to select and deselect objects, move, align etc. I had much better performance running on Windows virtualized in Parallels than native. Here is a link to a quick screengrab of some of the issues: https://www.screencast.com/t/bDjcgtLPcz I am using Hardware acceleration with the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M.

Additionally, when I select an object it is just laggy, taking a second or so to select it after clicking. The simpler the file the quicker it is but these are not crazy files and not an issue on the Windows version. I would expect better performance for a native application.

Regarding the new Mac interface I have a couple of questions:

• I like to use 'A' as a keyboard shortcut for the Pick tool, when I try it set it in the Preferences > Shortcuts I can not type 'A' into the box for the pick tool or any other tool, any other letter/key works. A is currently linked to the Shape tool, I removed the A shortcut from the Shape tool, clicked okay, and went back to preferences but it but still cannot use 'A' for any tool including Pick. https://www.screencast.com/t/JP7qc6jr 
• Picking Outline Color: Using the Windows version I always right-click on the right side vertical color pallette and it sets the outline color but now when I right-click a color a menu pops up: https://www.screencast.com/t/Do42bnEI with multiple options. Can you just set it to set the outline color?

Thanks for your help. I hope I can resolve the issues.
