Draw - Moving selected objects with arrow keys: Configuring the move distance

[kunegis]

In Libreoffice Draw, when a set of objects is selected, pressed an arrow key (up/down/left/right) moves those objects by a fixed distance in the given direction.
Is there a way to configure that distance?
I’m afraid I wasn’t able to find a configuration, and googling it also didn’t turn up anything. (But maybe I used badly chosen keywords.)
In my current configuration, that amount is 0.1cm, and I’d like to have it at 0.5cm.
This is using:
Version: 6.0.7.3
Build ID: 1:6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.10
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group

Thank you
Jérôme

In Writer it is possible: see LibreOffice Help on Edit Position and Size of Objects.

But for Impress and Draw is as you wrote. But Shift+Arrow will move by 1 cm.

Tested in version 7.0.6.2.

Cheers! Alt+arrow helps a lot
Thanks

Use the Alt + Arrow keys.

Alt + Arrow keys

This shortcut moves one pixel at a time. With a bit of calculations and an appropiated zoom level it may turn out to be something interesting.

@LeroyG , Great, at 400% the distance is cut in half.

I tested it on my document and I got the same result as the other poster: a movement of 1cm. Not perfect because I would configure it to 0.5cm if that was possible, but it still helps a lot.
Thanks

At 5% in this monitor (1440*900), Alt+Arrow keys moves 0.53 cm; but less than 0.01 cm at 400%.
But at 5% I can’t see what I am doing.

If I’m not in a mistake, for that it is: Draw - Grid

[LeroyG]

Grid works for to drag with the mouse, but not for to move with arrow keys.
