Posted · Feature Request: Arrow keys to move objects

Would like an option to be able to move objects around using the arrow keys. Left/right to move X axis, up/down to move Y axis, and something like shift+up/down for Z axis.

 

Very useful for fine tune adjustments of lining up parts, especially when zoomed in. Currently quite annoying to either have to zoom out, find the drag arrows, and inaccurately drag the mouse around, or repeatedly type in values manually.

 

Surprised it's not that by default to be honest, seems way more useful than camera controls.

        Ultimaker is turning 10 years old and that means it is story telling time! We'll explore 2010-2014, traveling through the evolution of the business from the Protobox and Ultimaker Original, to the major leaps forward with the Ultimaker 2 and Ultimaker 3.
