Reply To: How to assign shortcut to Cursor Key Increments

What an odd way to work :) Is that to move objects around very precisely? If I need that, I type the value right into the Control Panel position fields.

The default Nudges include these ones:

Nudge right — Default: Right Arrow
Nudge right 1/10 — Default: Shift+Ctrl+Right Arrow
Nudge right 1/10 duplicate — Default: Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Right Arrow
Nudge right duplicate — Default: Alt+Right Arrow
Nudge right x10 — Default: Shift+Right Arrow
Nudge right x10 duplicate — Default: Shift+Alt+Right Arrow

so by default you can use your standard increment, as well as 1/10th and x10 of its value — if you enter “10mm” as the default nudge, you can move around in 1 mm steps as well as 10 cm (that last one might be a bit too much).

Here is a small script to change the values to some preset, but you need a different script for each of your values and (probably) assign a shortcut key to each of the scripts as well (since you're obviously a Keyboard Jockey, as I am!).

This simple one-line Javascript sets the increment to whatever you fancy:
