Sounds like the mechanism in FrameMaker's drawing tools kit where
you can select an object in a drawing, then hold Alt (on Windows)
and use arrows to move it one point at a time, or use Shift+Alt
to move it 6 points at a time. (The arrows must not be the ones
on the numeric pad.)

On a Mac, it's the Option key. On Unix, it's the Control key.

This "tuning" positioning can be SO handy.

Hi, guys...in trying to research yesterday's problem, came across a tip that
is making my life so much easier.

I happen to HATE connectors that are crooked or slanted and sometimes, to
make it straight, ya gotta move one of the elements being connected only a
hair.

Select the icon you want to move, then hold down your SHIFT key and use the
keyboard arrow keys to nudge it along in the direction you want it to go.
Works like a charm.

Just passing this along...I'm using it alot.
