skinneejoe Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 When an object is selected it has the blue transformation handles. When moving an object with the keyboard arrows, or nudging it, is there a way to have those handles disappear so that I can see finer details about where I'm placing the object? I feel like this functionality was working when I first installed Affinity, but now it seems to have disappeared. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 21, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hi skinneejoe, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) With the Move Tool selected go to the context toolbar and check/enable Hide Selection while Dragging (the button after the "target" icon).

skinneejoe Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hey MEB, thanks! Actually I was hoping it would hide the selection while nudging. It does hide it when I move the object with my mouse, which is great. But I wish it also hid it while moving an object with the keyboard keys.

carl123 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hold the Space Bar down when using the keyboard keys, this hides the selection for me Jelen07 and Alex_M 2 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
