I've been trying hard to move a pattern inside a shape but I cannot seem to find a working shortcut.

It seems like there are diffrent ones depending on keyboard language? Mine is swedish. But I've also tried switching to US and UK versions with no luck. The ones ive tried are the tile key ~, the backtick one ` the < and this one ' what else is there? I've also tried these with different varitions of ctrl and alt. Doesn't work.

In the meantime, use Object->Transform->Move...

...with Transform Objects Off and Transform Patterns On

The ~ key works for me when used in combination with the arrow keys.

I can move the pattern freely with my trackpad when Transform Objects is checked and Transform Patterns is unchecked and the ~ key is pressed.
