nudge a gradient handle?

Postby brynn » Wed Nov 05, 2008 10:08 am

Hi Friends,
I'm pretty sure this can't be done, but I thought I'd ask, just to be sure.

It's not possible to nudge a gradient handle, is it? Like move it 1 or 2 pixels(or any unit) at a time?

:idea: I guess I could enable snapping and a grid.

Other than that, can a gradient handle be nudged?

Thanks as always, for your help :D

Try the arrows :D

Also there's an option in Inkscape Preferences where you can set how many pixels arrow keys move by.

You can rotate the handles with the bracket keys, if you have only one node selected

Select it and use alt+ arrow keys, that should do single pixel movements.

Oh ok!
I knew you could nudge nodes with the arrow keys, but I didn't realize gradient handles would respond.

Thanks everyone :D
