Hi, I quite like the idea of changing the nudge distance to whatever the "grid snap" is set to, but am having problems getting it to work. I have tired setting the " var dist = moi.grid.snapSize; " in both Petr and Michaels nudge script versions. Should the hotkey settings be the same for Petrs and Michaels versions , the four arrow keys and page up and down ?

Hi Wheel,
> but am having problems getting it to work.
Could you please post your modified scripts here as an attachment? That will make it easier to take a look at them and see what is not working in it.

Yeah, if I remember right I think that the shortcut key settings were the same.

Nudge.js
From: Michael Gibson
Hi Wheel - your modified script seems to work ok for me over here.
Maybe it's a setup problem?
That Nudge.js file should be copied into the \commands sub-folder underneath MoI's main installation folder (like C:\Program Files\MoI 1.0\commands).
Then under Options / Shortcut keys, you'll need settings like this:
| Key | Command |
|---|
| DownArrow | Nudge Down |
| UpArrow | Nudge Up |
| LeftArrow | Nudge Left |
| RightArrow | Nudge Right |
| PageUp | Nudge ZUp |
| PageDown | Nudge ZDown |
Note one subtle thing here is that the left-side "Key" part does not have a space in it, like DownArrow is all one word with no spaces inside it. While the "Command" part does have a space between Nudge and the second word.

sorry what is a "Nudge" and his function?
From: Michael Gibson
Hi Pilou - Nudge means to move by a small amount.
The Nudge command allows you to set up keys such as the arrow keys to move around objects or points by a small amount on every key press.

Sorry if it was allready asked, but is it possible to know which viewport the mouse is over, and modify the direction of the nudge according to it.
I mean if:
- the mouse is over the top view, right and left arrow 'nudge' on the x axis, up and down arrow on the z axis
- the mouse is over the front view, right and left arrow 'nudge' on the x axis, up and down arrow on the y axis
- the mouse is over right view, right and left arrow 'nudge' on the z axis, up and down arrow on the y axis
do you see the idea ... looks more natural for me, but maybe I'm alone :P
of course the perspective view require the 6 keys, like it is mapped now (page up page down for y move)

I think the version attached to this message should do that:

Oh, great! That's exactly what I was looking for!
Well, maybe not exactly, because IDL isn't quite my favorite thing in the world to read, but yes, thank you -- that'll be quite useful. :-)

Nudge script have an issue:
01. invoke bevel.
02. use Tab key to change gui focus from "Radius" to "Shape".
03. use RMB or Enter to apply bevel
04. Select object and try to use Up & Down Nudge commands.
Up and Down Nudge doesn't work after this. Until you press Tab key and then Enter.
It happens i guess because gui focus stak somwere on already closed bevel "Shape" gui.
Its interesting that Lef and Right Nudge still works.
It's not a huge problem at all but kinda annoying.
From: Michael Gibson
Hi Bravlin, thanks for reporting this Nudge bug, I was able to repeat it here. It was a bug in the dropdown control where it wasn't getting detached from focus handling in that situation. I've got a fix in place for the next v4 beta.
