ArrowMove Easy

ArrowMove Easy is a simple Unity Editor tool that lets you quickly adjust objects in your scene using keyboard shortcuts.

No more dragging with the mouse or typing in exact values. Just hold Ctrl/Cmd and press the arrow keys to move things around. It works equally well in 3D scenes and with 2D Canvas UI elements, and is especially useful when you need fine, precise control over object positioning.

What It Does

Ever wish you could nudge objects using your keyboard instead of carefully dragging them with the mouse? That is exactly what ArrowMove Easy is built for.

Select one or more objects, hold Ctrl (Win) or Cmd (Mac), and use the arrow keys to move, rotate, or scale them. It is simple, fast, and intuitive.

The tool automatically adapts to the currently selected Unity tool (Move, Rotate, Scale, or Rect), allowing it to fit seamlessly into your existing workflow without extra setup.

• Smart Tool Detection: Automatically works with Move, Rotate, Scale, and Rect tools

• Multiple Movement Modes: Choose how arrow keys map to 3D space (XZ, XY, or YZ)
• Shift for Speed: Hold Shift to move/rotate/scale faster
• Undo Support: All operations support Unity's standard Undo (Ctrl+Z)
