Do you know that it is fairly easy to move your elements by a fixed number of pixels (preset in preferences)? You can do this with <ctrl><arrow>.
But did you know you can also use this to resize your form with the same number of pixels?

And, what about this one: you can use <shift><arrow> to resize your element by one pixel (width and height).

Ah, you did know that? Maybe it's time to contribute to servoy magazine too?

And, when you didn't know: Enjoy this little tip...

Good one! Everyone should know and use this tip. Summary: (1) arrow keys move objects by one pixel (2) control + arrow moves by preset distance (default is 10 pixels) (3) option (mac) or alt (PC) + arrow moves by double the preset (4) add the shift key to any of the above and the object is resized by that amount instead of moved (5) all of these work with multiple objects
