⌥ + arrow keys to move objects on canvas in 0.1 increments [move tool]


Recommended Posts

⌥ (alt) + arrow keys (↓/↑) will change input boxes by a tenth of the unit being used (e.g. 0.1px). I would love to see this behaviour being used directly on the canvas with the move tool, whereby ⌥ + any arrow key would move the object by a 0.1 increment in the said direction.

Alternatively, or in addition, it would be great if we could set this value in preferences. A "secondary" modifier nudge distance set in preferences > Tools, with 0.1 being the default, triggered by alt instead of cmd.

 

I would also love to see:

  • the ability to increase shape sizes with [modifier] + arrow keys - as suggested here:
    • where [modifier] + ⌥ + arrow keys could increase object sizes in 0.1 increments (or the value set in a "secondary" modifier nudge input in preferences).
  • "esc" to return to the selection on canvas after using an input box - as suggested here:

thanks
