How-To Change Keyboard Increment

Hi,

 

When an arrow key is pressed, the object on screen moves by 0.139 inch.

 

Is there any way to make it move by 0.125 inch?

No problem @Hosun. Set your keyboard increment as 0.0125 in. When you hold down "shift," your object will shift 0.125" each time.

Hi @Hosun,

Under Illustrator > Settings... > General... (or "Command K" on a Mac). Change your keyboard increment to "0.125 in"

Thank you very much for your reply. 

In my question, I did mean Shift+Arrow
I forgot Shift. 

Is there any way?
