Moving objects in Archimate or BPMN views with arrow keys
Completed
What is your wish?
Being able to move objects or a group of objects in Archimate or BPMN with the arrow keys.
What is the problem you encounter?
It can be difficult to finetune objects in views, just using a mouse. Sometimes it takes a few times te correct the placement of an object.
Why do you want this wish?
To make it easier to move objects or a group of objects and place them correctly.

Hi all,
Moving BPMN elements with arrows is possible in the Alpha version of the new BPMN that is currently being tested by a selected group of customers.
Thank you,

Fine tuning visualizations by using arrow keys to move selected objects around would be very helpful (and great for my sanity at more than one occasion)!

I generally use alignment + grid for this. If things get awkward, I use a placeholder-object as guide, sizing it as needed.
If you disable snap-to-grid, helplines should become visible (as per https://valueblue.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008824013-Align-objects-on-your-canvas-using-helplines) though I have not seen these.
Actual working guides like they have in Photoshop/Visio would be nice

I do use all those tools (alignment, grid, placeholders), but is can be cumbersome to move and object a couple of blocks on the grid. For me it not just in Archimate views, but also in BPMN views I would like to have the moving option, using the arrows.
