Hi Greg,
Did not know that about pressing the X & Y key during Region capture. Very nice feature! Guess I should read the manual!
I would like the "shift key down" to
Constrain any movement of the following objects to the X or Y axis.
- A selection of the drawing region using the "Select" tool.
- Any selected object before you Imprint it, including pasted objects.
- A selected text box.
Also, forgot to mention a
Duplicate function. Many other graphics editors use the Control or Control-Alt keys to convert a drag into a Duplicate-drag. If the shift-key is pressed right after the start of this drag, the Duplicate will be contained to the direction of the initial move, either horizontal or vertical.
- Would also like a keyboard command to create a Duplicate of any selected object.
- The Duplicate should be exactly on top of the original so it can be dragged with the shift key to maintain alignment with the original.
- Pressing the keyboard command for Duplicate with the duplicated object selected, will create another copy with the same offset (x,y) that was just applied to the first Duplicate, unless the user clicks the mouse after dragging the first Duplicate which deselects the duplicated object and reset the offset to (0,0).
Finally, I only discovered the
Nudge command yesterday (after many years of using HyperSnap) while checking the Forum for prior posts about my topic. Why require the user to press the Enter key to initiate and cancel the "nudge" mode? Is there some reason why just pressing the arrow keys when any object is selected should not nudge it?
Also, would be deluxe to offer a setting to change the default Nudge value from 1 px to whatever number of pixels the users desires. This would provide another way to generate "offset" duplicates, and also at a specific location.
Thanks,
Paul
