You can also do this by object dragging without needing to trigger the move tool.

Type your distance value in before you do the drag, it will then use that as a distance constraint during the drag operation.

If you do this a lot you can also use this script on a shortcut key to trigger a fixed distance constraint with one keystroke:

script: /* Set distance constraint of 100 */ var pp = moi.ui.getActivePointPicker(); if ( !pp ) pp = moi.ui.createPointPicker(); pp.setDistanceConstraint( 100.0 );

The shortcut key for that can be triggered either before or during the drag.
