Convenient and practical tool

Hi Pixero
a nice small tool, and i use it often.
but at work, it won't detect the arrowkeys
i can start the plugin by using alt+arrow down - it does activate and i can enter a distance, but then nothing happens
at home it works just fine.
i use sketchup 2015, both at home and at work, and windows 7 at work, windows 10 at home.
i have tried to reset shortcuts, but that did not help
does anyone know what the problem could be?
thanks

I always thought this would be handy but never knew this tool existed until now. Thanks!

@ Jorgensen
Select the object you want to move and choose the JS Move Tool.
Then enter the distance and press enter/return. Then it should work. -
hi pixero
i can use it at home - so i don't think it's a user-error
mayby it's a conflict with an other plugin?
i get this message in the ruby console as soon as i press an arrow key.
Error: #<TypeError: no implicit conversion to float from nil>

Since it's the same user, same plugin and same version of SketchUp, I wonder if it could be an issue of operating system? SU2015 isn't fully compatible with Win 10.
Try it with SU2016?
-
Is it possible this tool to be activated WHILE a keyboard button is pressed (and deactivated after release of the button)?
(or another similar tools like "Key Rotate" by Kyyu.) -
Does anyone know if this plugin should work with sketchup 2018?

Just installed and tested and it works fine for me with SU 2018.
-
I think i get the same errors as before - not sure why - i have used before with no problems.

and i was about to write my first plugin to do this:)... well I guess I will just have to do a LAYOUT equivalent... this NUDGE capability has been a standard CORELDRAW interface capability for many years and is really handy ... should be built into the SU/LO interface as standard.. thanks for this plugin

LayOut has had nudge capability since it was released.

hi @pixero
I have used this plugin for years and it's have been a great tool.
Now I i've been updated to a new laptop and I can't get the plugin to work.I can activte the plugin, add a distance, but nothing happens when i use the arrow keys.
The only difference i have from the old computer and this one, seems to be that i need to use . instead of using , when i enter numbers.
Can that course the issue?
I have inserted output from the ruby console.
Thanks
Jorgensen

Did you press enter before using the arrow keys?
I just tried installing on a fresh version of SU 2018 and it worked just fine here.
Could it perhaps be a conflict with some of your other plugins? -
hi pixero
I'm pressing enter after i set the distance.
The plugin as worked all the time on other computers, but not on this one.
Are you also using . instead of , ? i have never had an installation before where i need to use . as a decimal separator.
Thanks

Hi Pixero
I searched the jsmovetool.rb, deleted two instances, and installed via extension store.
Now it works

Great!

Thank you so much for this, what a boon! I don't know why this isn't built into Sketchup as a default.
Again, thank you so much, it really helps!
