Moving the object with cursor keys

[HopGabor62]

Would it be possible please to move an object by 0.01mm with the cursor keys when Snap Grid is off, as in TC? I can do that in the position box, but would be more handy not to watch there from the object every time I want to move it.
Thanks a lot.

@HopGabor62, welcome. I changed it: with the snap grid off, an arrow key now moves the selection by 0.01 mm, and Shift with an arrow by five times that. With a grid on, the arrows still follow the grid. It comes with the next release.

@HopGabor62, the 0.01 mm arrow step is in 1.75.0: with the snap grid off, an arrow key moves the selection by 0.01 mm, and Shift five times that. Reload the page to get it; the installed app needs a restart.

Thank you very much.

One more idea.. When I move an object with the mouse it is one state in the history. If I press the cursor key, every press is one state too, regardless if I press several times or simply use the repetition of the keyboard. It would be almost necessary to handle this as one state, because this way the history fills up in no time and becomes useless.

@HopGabor62, you are right, every press of an arrow key was its own step. Now a run of arrow presses on the same selection is one step: as long as the next press comes within a second and a half, it replaces the step instead of adding one, and Undo goes back to before the whole run. Any other action in between, or a longer pause, starts a new step. It is in 1.76.0. Reload the page to get it; the installed app needs a restart.
