Move selection box with arrow keys

[TG]

It would be nice if one could move the selection box with the keyboard's arrow keys as we are used to in Photoshop.
Especially because moving the selection box with the mouse (Win XP on a 2,4 MHz P4) is a good bit more sluggish than in Photoshop. Although its a lot better since the last few versions.

The problem is that the edit fields in the frame panel normally have the keyboard focus. The arrows are used to move the cursor from character to character.

True, BUT command-a automatically selects the whole of the Prescan area rather than the whole of the edit field currently active (which I personally find very annoying). This means that it is possible for Lasersoft to choose where the focus goes.

I too would like to see arrow keys implemented for the Prescan window. I would suggest using command-arrow and command-shift-arrow (for reverse direction). That would allow the user to use plain arrow keys in edit fields and command-arrow keys in the Prescan window without manually switching focus.

Good man !

I would suggest:

A. Simple

The arrow keys move the whole frame in the four directions.

OR

B. Not so simple

command-left move the left border left, away from the centre of the frame
command-shift-left move the left border right, toward the centre of the frame

command-up move the upper border up, away from the centre of the frame
command-shift-up move the upper border down, toward the centre of the frame

etc.

If anyone has suggestions, please let us know.
