Move Textbox tool with keyboard

[VirtualCharlie]

It would be very handy for me to be able to move/resize the text box tool while still editing the text. As it is now, I have grab my mouse, exit the box, move the box, re-enter the box for more text. Something involving the CTRL and/or ALT keys would be perfect.

Press the Escape key, then the up/down/left/right cursor keys.

Press the enter key to select the text again. Use the cursor keys in text edit mode to go the end or beginning of the text to continue editing.

Many thanks! That was the most important part for me.

Changing size would be great too...

Hi VirtualCharlie,

change the text box size/confines or the font size?

[VirtualCharlie]

Actually the size. I use XChange Viewer to grade papers and I often need to adjust the placement and size of the box when I make comments. Additionally, I find that I get finer control with keys than with a mouse.

Thanks,
Charlie

Hi again VirtualCharlie,

I'm not sure on the details of the new version when it is released in Q2 of this year. What ever happens it will be after that so I suggest we wait and see what V3 brings and revisit your suggestion at that time.

Regards the control using the keyboard, I take it you are aware that holding the Shift key will allow you to move the object 1 pixel at a time.

I was not aware that the shift key would move the box. I did try CTRL and ALT. I couldn't find this information in help or in the forum.

Thanks for an incredible product that I use and recommend often.
Thanks,
Charlie
