Scale repeat grid from center without moving items upward
Could you add the possibility of scaling a repeat group without moving the child items from their position on the artboard?
Holding down ALT scale from the center of the group but all the children move along with the top left corner which is annoying.

Thanks for explaining more! I've tweaked the title a bit to match.
One thing this requires that we don't support yet is having the items potentially cut off along the top/edge of the Repeat Grid -- currently, the upper left "origin" is always lines up with the start of the first list item.

What I mean is make the Grid container (the one with the green border) scale from the center when holding down 'Alt) (like it does now!) BUT the repeated elements should not move around like they do now.
For example, I put a rectangle at a precise location on my screen (say x=200 and y=200), use 'Repeat Grid' without holding down 'Alt' to add more elements to fill my screen. Now I want to add more repeated elements to the LEFT of my original rectangle, I should be able to do so by holding down 'Alt' and dragging the green border handles.
This way my positioning is accurate (because it stays in place) and I can repeat as many rectangles as I want without moving my 'Repeat Grid'.
I can spend some time mocking this up if you want.
