You can draw simple squares or circles using Edit→Stroke Selection. It strokes the edge of your current selection. More complex shapes can be drawn using the Path tool or with Filters→Render→Gfig.

If you stroke a path (Edit→Stroke Path), the paint tools can be used with their current settings. You can use the Paintbrush in gradient mode or even the Eraser or the Smudge tool.

You can create and edit complex selections using the Path tool. The Paths dialog allows you to work on multiple paths and to convert them to selections.

You can use the paint tools to change the selection. Click on the "Quick Mask" button at the bottom left of an image window. Change your selection by painting in the image and click on the button again to convert it back to a normal selection.

You can save a selection to a channel (Select→Save to Channel) and then modify this channel with any paint tools. Using the buttons in the Channels dialog, you can toggle the visibility of this new channel or convert it to a selection.

After you enabled "Dynamic Keyboard Shortcuts" in the Preferences dialog, you can reassign shortcut keys. Do so by bringing up the menu, selecting a menu item, and pressing the desired key combination. If "Save Keyboard Shortcuts" is enabled, the key bindings are saved when you exit GIMP. You should probably disable "Dynamic Keyboard Shortcuts" afterwards, to prevent accidentally assigning/reassigning shortcuts.
