Yet another Altium to Kicad question

I can offer some insight only for a couple of points:

  1. Rooms are not supported natively, but there is a plugin available (GitHub - MitjaNemec/ReplicateLayout) which I am the author of. As I am not familiar with the Altium’s room functionality I can not say how they compare, but the plugin is quite versatile as it allows for source and destination room to be on different layer (top/bottom) and it properly handles nested rooms. The terminology is obviously different and I think that the worst part of it is the practically nonexistent documentation.
  2. There is currently no way to bind the plugins to keyboard actions. You can change the shortcuts, but I can’t tell if existent flexibility will allow you to come near your Altium experience.
