Modifier key for large nudge -- can't find.


Recommended Posts

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.

?

L&R

The shift key in conjunction with the arrow keys nudges 10px

Got it. Works. 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.

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

Thanks firstdefence.

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 "1.10
8ab56 / 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.

L&R

In the builtin Help for AD v10.0.6 on my Mac I get lots of results if I search on "nudge":1255503738_nudgesearch.jpg.7a078e88170b310c3d4058cf8b697a7d.jpg

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:

I should mention that in my post above I said "AD" but as you can tell from the title of the window I actually showed my results for AP.

However, I still get several hits in AD for "nudge"
