LeftandRight Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hi, Using 1.10.5 on Desktop Mac, In Preferences->Tools it says there is a "Modifier Nudge Distance", default at 10px. What is this modifier, please, anybody? Where is this modifier listed or changed? I can't find it in the list of key commands. I've tried all the modifiers I can think of when using the arrow keys for nudge, but I still only get a small nudge, single pixel. ?

I guess I didn't try hard enough. 🙂 Do you know if it's somewhere in the list of changeable key combinations? I scrolled through these seemingly endlessly, looking for it, but didn't see it. I wish there was a way to search for a key like that, rather than guess where it's supposed to be. L&R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 There is no entry within shortcuts for the nudge option, this is the only info under Help: https://affinity.help/photo2/English.lproj/pages/LayerOperations/transform.html Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

That brings up another issue: that link is a different Help than the one bundled with my Affinity, that I get to by the Help->Affinity Designer Help. If I search for 'nudge' in both, I get "no results" in mine; yours returns "Transforming Objects", which has the key command as you showed me. They look similar in interface, but the search is clearly different. Yours, on the Web, says it's version: "1.10 045b0" / Serif 2020. Mine, on the Mac, says it's version "1.108ab56 / Serif 2020. But the search doesn't function the same. I usually get 'No results' using my bundled one, which is quite annoying. 🤐 Anyway, thanks for the link and I'll start using the web version now.

In the builtin Help for AD v10.0.6 on my Mac I get lots of results if I search on "nudge": It's the same version & same copyright as in your reply. What OS version are you using?

I'm pleased to hear that it works for you, so maybe as you say it's a local/OS issue. Here's my nudge search, and as I said I get this for half the searches I do for AD: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
