bigger "step" when moving bd stuff with arrows

Sometimes I will make something like a loop considerably smaller and now I want to move things outside the loop directly to the left/right. I will highlight everything and use the arrow keys which automatically shortens the wires as things move (I believe) and doesn't just tuck the "excess" behind other objects. However, using these arrows the bd stuff moves in very small steps. Is there a way to make it shift in larger steps? Sort of the LabVIEW equivalent of pressing arrows in text editors moves your cursor letter by letter, but certain key combinations can move the cursor to the end of the word, or line.Or is my best bet to highlight, drag with the mouse, then use up/down arrows to straighten anything out that may have become bent?

Hold the shift button while pressing the arrows.

Yes. Hold down the shift key.

The information is also in the LabVIEW Help: Moving Objects.

Thanks. I never thought to try that one.  I knew that holding shift while dragging the items to the edge of the block diagram made it scroll quicker, but never thought about it for doing a nudge type operation with the arrow keys.  I guess if I need bigger shifts, I usually drag with the mouse, and only resort to the arrow keys for the final nudging.

well, i certainly hit the lazy button on this one. I'll take full blame for that. Good deal though, thanks.
