Hi,

I would like when I select a figure on my editor area to be able to move it
by using cursor arrows. (for example when pressing left arrow the figure
will move 1 pixel left). Is this possible to be done and if it is can u
suggest me how to implement this?

Thnx in advance

Hi,

1.) select the GEF element with the mouse cursor.
2.) Press the . (dot) Key (once, twice,...)
3.) Move the Element with the cursor
Resize the element with the cursor
.
.
.
(this depends in relation with the cursor symbol)
4.) Press enter to commit the changes

Thats all

greetings

Andreas

P.S. greetings to the GEF-Team...thanks for the
greate framework.

Sure you can do it.
Have a look at KeyHandler usage in GEF example. With KeyHandler, you can
associate some key with some action and in this action invoke some command
to do moving job.

Best,
