object resizing tips

Classic Servoy

On OS X:

  1. arrow keys move an object around by one pixel.
  2. cntrl + arrow keys move an object in 10 pixel increments.
  3. optn + arrow keys move an object in 20 pixel increments.
  4. add the shift key to any of the above combinations to resize an object instead of moving it.(!)
  5. And the best yet: all of the above work on multiple objects selected.

additionally the above also works on all other operating systems, other operating system tend to call the option key ALT though.

BTW:
the pixelsteps can be changed in preferences>designer.

Using the grid is also very helpful.
(it’s very easy aligning/sizing elements with Arrows Keys AND snapping to grid.)
