It is true that TAB will change from above to underground but this always moves you to the elevator when doing so. Use the CAPS LOCK instead to transition without being moved to the elevator. This is very helpful for large bases where you are working above and below in the same relative space.

For storage: (I think it was shift click, I haven't played in a minute)
Shift click existing storage with a material, shift click another storage to change material to that material

How does V work? It doesn't do anything for me, both in planning mode and in reality.
