Moving items with keyboard arrows
« on: August 24, 2004, 06:28:21 am »
During the course of creating a diagram, I always wish I could move the selected item left, right, up or down by a pixel using the keyboard arrows.
This is much quicker than trying to align things with the mouse and sometimes more useful than using alignment buttons from the toolbar.
Most drawing tools allow moving things around using keyboard arrows.

Update: CJ is right, moving things around can be accomplished by holding SHIFT. I should have known such a basic feature wouldn't be missing from this *great* piece of software! I missed that part of the help file (and others I'm sure)  :-X

G'day,

You can move an element (or a group of selected elements) by holding down the shift key while using your keyboard arrows.

(Look for "Moving Elements in Diagrams" in EA's help file index.)
Cheers and best regards.
