Arrow Keys not working to move objects

I am running Mac OS 12.2.1 with Illustrator 26.0.3 and all of the sudden the arrow keys stopped working. I have relaunched the application and restarted my laptop and it is not fixing it. Any suggestions? 

 

In Photoshop they work fine so I know it's not the keyboard. 

 

 

Thanks!

Good to hear that helped.

Why it is sometimes set too such a low value? I don't know, but you are not the only one.

Did you check if the Keyboard Increment in Preferences General has a correct value?

    Ahhh! That did the trick. I was set to something so low it didn't register that it was moving.

     

    Strange, how would something like that change without me changing it? 

     

    Anyway, that you so much for the suggestion!
