Moving objects with arrow keys

Reply Threaded

Hi all,

I'm sure I asked this once before and got no reply; or intended to ask
and forgot. Regardless, I am pretty sure that I used to be able to
select an object and then move it a pixel at a time using the arrow
keys. I'm trying to convert another old HC stack and find that doing
this in 3.5 does not work. Am I batty or just confusing Rev with what
I can do in MacDraft?

TIA,

Joe Wilkins

I'm on 2.9 but, make sure "Development > Suppress messages" in the
toolbar is unchecked,
and look at the preferences for "Arrow key" settings.

Thanks Nicolas, but in 3.5 I find nothing in preferences that allows
me to use arrow keys in this manner. Still doesn't work for me.

Looking this time at my demo Rev 3.5 for Windows, in the "Edit >
Preferences > General" I see an "Arrow keys navigate through cards"
checkbox.

And, I created a stack, added a button, deselected then selected it,
and clicking on my keyboard arrow keys nudged the button's position.

Perhaps your keyboard has some kind of toggle for turning on/off its arrow keys?

Also, you know Rev has arrow related commands? Check in the docs for
the word "arrow".

I just selected a btn, used my arrow keys and could move it one pixel
at a time.

Using Rev 3.5 and OS X 10.5.7

OK, fellas. I've tried new stacks and the arrow keys work with them,
but I've tried five different HC stacks that have been converted to
Rev Stacks and the arrow keys don't work on any of them as they
should. So... guess it has to do with the conversion process. Would
someone else, please try a converted stack to see if this is ALWAYS
the case.

TIA,

Check the settings for the navigationArrows and the textArrows.
Maybe having HCaddressing set to true (as it will be for you imported
stacks) changes these settings.

Cheers,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

None of those settings seems to change anything though what you
suggested certainly made sense.

I believe I changed them to about every possible combination with no
effect.

Thanks,

Joe Wilkins

Here (Rev 3.5 ; OSX 10.5.7 :
On Rev stacks arrow keys allow to move objects one pixel at a time as
well as navigating through cards (if this option is selected).

On HC stacks converted to Rev stacks I can't move objects neither
navigate through cards (even if this option is selected).

So seems always the case. Don't know why :-(

Go and get it! . . .

http://mathewson.110mb.com/FILEZ/KEYPADMOVER.rev.zip

it is ALSO available at the OLD revOnline under 'Richmond'

check the code; I've got things moving at 5 pixels per pop as, frankly,
I find
it difficult to see if things are miving at a single pixel.

Be warned, as this uses rawKeyDown it will stop all other keyboard commands
working - hang on to your mouse!

Thanks Richmond. You always seem to have a new wrinkle of some sort to

I've seen this too with converted HC stacks. In the message box do this:

set the HCAddressing to false

That fixes it.

Hi Jacqi,

I had tried this earlier without success. Trying it once again results
in this error msg:

I copied and pasted your statement into the msg box.

Message execution error:
Error description: Chunk: can't find object

I'm beginning to wonder if HCAddressing exists in 3.5.

Sorry, I misspoke. It should be:

set the HCAddressing of this stack to false

Too early to think yet. ;)
