Keyboard Resize/Transform


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I just started my Affinity Designer trial. One thing I really miss is the ability to resize/transform a selection with the keyboard. I could do this in Fireworks with a plugin, and it's also available in Figma.

For example:
CTRL + up/down/left/right makes the selection 1px larger in the corresponding direction.
ALT + up/down/left/right makes the selection 1px smaller in the corresponding direction.
SHIFT + the above does it in increments of 10px.

I wasn't able to find this mentioned anywhere. Has this been requested before?

Hello @beaniemonk,

wellcome to the forum. I did not see this request before. Note: I did not see all feature requests, of course :)

I think this can be of use in certain situations when working precisely.
