Custom / Multiple Nudge Distances

Being able to create custom nudge distance (mapped to a hotkey + direction key) in addition to the standard nudge would be very useful.

Use Case: The site uses 30px multiples for spacing. We set the custom nudge distance to 30px, create a new element and nudge it down once for 30px or twice for 60px for fast uniform spacing. This also works well for measuring out distances; create a 30px tall rectangle and select the bottom edge with the direct selection tool (another feature we need), now nudge it down 3 times for a 4x height. Or change a 4x height section to 6x by selecting the bottom edge and nudging down twice. This is much more intuitive and faster than doing the math and typing in pixel amounts. This is both useful for personal workflow, and ensuring uniform spacing for all team members' work.

This would be in addition to the 1px nudging, so it would be direction key for 1px, and Cmd + direction key for custom distance.

    I too would love either a way to create a custom nudge value OR a way to change the default nudge. 1em = 16px. A way to nudge in 8px increments would be a huge time saver.

    The standard movement of holding shift and press an arrow key is 10px. Would be great of you could set that to another pixel value that fits better to your grid.

    You could implement this functionality in Edit / Preferences.
    As simple as showing a panel like this:

    I need to be able to adjust my large nudge increments from 10px to 8px.

    I agree with these folks. 8px or 12px grids are the norm

    I've been working exclusively with the power of two in several systems and apps for long-term projects and it would be a really nice feature to set the "nudge by one pixel" or holding shift to "nudge by ten pixles" to any value I want.

    The power of two-system could then be set up to be:
    - instead of nudging an object one pixel at a time, it could be the smallest allowed measurment in that system (the power of two = 2px)
    - the shift-nudge feature could then act as a multiplier on that value (or be fixed if your system prefers it) so that the base nudge of 2px becomes 8px or 16px.

    Need to be able to set how many pixels for the arrow keys. Default now is 10 pixels, common practices work off of base 8 for spacing. In Sketch it is in their preferences.

    Thanks!

    To me, this is the most annoying thing about XD. Actually, if this is not going to be implemented I will switch to Figma once and for all

    I can't believe that such a simple feature has not been added, especially as a majority of designers work within a 8pt grid structure.

    This simple thing keeps me from using XD regularly.

    Come on Adobe XD... You can do better.
    You are not innovating anymore, but merely playing catch-up to the other players.
    Stop playing politics and do something good for your user base.

    I bet the adobe developers and product managers sit back and laugh at actual real requests from actual users. XD has been out for YEARS and yet as a user we're still don't have access to the preferences of the program, UNLIKE the other adobe products.

    what gives?

    You can do that now in Windows, using an integration called Func Creatives.
