Roly Poly Goblinoli Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Most controls (where it makes sense) nudge with the arrowkeys (e.g. Move tool, Shapes tool). The text tool can't because the arrowkeys are used to navigate the text field. However, while you're holding the control nub, you can move the text with arrowkeys. I think this is worth mentioning in the help documentation because exactly-positioning text with the mouse can be a lot harder. Don't know where else to put this, so I raised it here. Cheers!

Tactilis Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 And in pictures.... 1. Type your text 2. Move the cursor over the control nub. 3. Hold down the left mouse button and use the arrow keys to move the nub (and hence the text) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
