Keyboard shortcut: Resize shapes using Cmd+arrows

Allow to resize shapes using cmd+arrows. It's one of the best Sketch features, it's really useful for pixel perfecting.

Cmd-up arrow to increase height, Cmd-down to decrease height.
Cmd-right increases width, Cmd-left decreases width.

    YES - this would be so useful in iterating sizes of objects! I've grown so used to doing this with sketch that not having this is one of the top reasons I'm seriously considering if I should simply stick with Sketch and ignore XD for the time being

    IMPROVEMENT: There's a popular Sketch plug-in Nudg.it (made by a friend of mine), that allows you to change the nudge increments. This is HUGE when working with 8px grids, especially for Material Design.

    For example, I change my Shift + Cmd + Arrows nudge to 8px instead of 10px. Saves me so much time and is very productive.

    This missing feature alone is wasting so much time for me... Big overlooked one that people use constantly.

    Please add this tiny function that dramatically improves our productivity.

    It's very useful in Sketch and we want it in Xd too.

    Thank You

    Keyboard shortcuts to change object size as seen in Sketch and Figma.

    Change Object Size: Cmd + Arrows
    Change Units by 10: Shift + Cmd + Arrows

    I couldn't get used to not having this feature when trying Adobe XD as it is a huge time saver.

    This seemingly small feature pays off big in increased design speed when exploring ideas and refining details. Ideally this would work on all elements - shapes, lines, type ...

    Allow you to resize objects with a key combination like
    Command + arrow keys
    This allows me to quickly & precisely resize object in increment of 1px or 10px with shift key held down.
