Different behaviour for moving objects using arrow keys
Nov 21, 2017

So, way back as long as I can remember selecting an object on the page, and pressing the keyboard arrows would shift that object by 10px (depending on the grid pixel setting).
To move objects a single pixel you'd need to hold down Ctrl and then click an arrow button.
Two of my colleagues have today noticed that this has been switched in the most recent SL360 release - so keyboard arrow presses result in a single pixel move, and a Ctrl+arrow results in a move of 10px.
However, this is not happening for me. We're all running v3.10.13923.0.
Is this happening to anyone else? Is this an intentional change by Articulate or some sort of weird bug?

Hello Adam!
Yes, we made some enhancements to size and position. Sounds like you may have a different setting than your colleagues:
Ctrl+Arrow: This moves the selected object.
Check out all the editing enhancements here.
Thank you for fixing this:
For example, you can drag a line to lengthen it, then press the Shift key to prevent it from rotating as you resize it.
Changing the length of a line without rotating it used to be a nightmare.
Glad you've found some benefit with it Walt :) Thanks for popping in to share.
Thanks everyone- I knew I saw this somewhere going through initial learning - now I am onto it. I love your work why would anyone uses another application ...magic ...sending a wave from the other side of the Pacific!
👋🏻 Sheryl! Glad this was helpful :)
