trying to "nudge" with arrow keys

[jonperl]

i'm trying to "nudge" with the arrow keys after updating to version 21.1.0.

did they take this feature away?

thanks in advance.

Which system?

Which hardware?

Did you check the arrow key distance in the preferences?

I'm on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15" late 2013) running OSX 10.11.6 (El Capitan).

yes i checked — keyboard increment: 0.0139 in

thanks!

They definitely did not take the feature away.

When you move an object with the arrow keys and then check the position with the transform panel, it did not move?

I'm having a similar issue in Adobe Animate. Using the arrow keys to nudge produces no result. Windows 10 PC. Thanks!

Same issue Mac OS 10.13.6 Cloud subscription up to date v 24.2.3. Saw same problem on search in Indesign they trashed prefs. I can't find the prefs

Illustrator menu > preferences > General > reset Preferences

You can also check your Keyboard increment there.

Thanks! I also upped my keyboard increments, that worked. I could have sworn I have always had them very low and no problem but its all good. Thanks

Good to hear that helped.

They indeed do not move. Arrow keys do not work to nudge on my system either, on v 28.1

How is the distance set up in the Preferences?
