When i try to move an object in Adobe illustrator it gets moved by about 20 pixels instead of just 1 pixel. I normally use the arrow keys to move objects as i find it easy lining up items. I changed the art board settings but that did not help.

Can i set the amount an object is moved by when using the arrow keys? – Marios Jun 14 '15 at 22:46

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it has nothing to do with programming. – user229044 Jan 04 '16 at 02:42

From helpx.adobe.com:
The distance the object moves each time you press an arrow key is determined by the Keyboard Increment preference. The default distance is 1 point (1/72 of an inch, or .3528 millimeter). To change the Keyboard Increment preference, choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences > General (Mac OS).

It's also important to make sure that View > Snap To Grid is turned off. That has caused me some problems with the nudging using the arrow keys being inconsistent in illustrator.

And `Snap to Pixel`, which forces an object to have integer coordinates, shall also be disabled. – ynn Nov 03 '21 at 08:23
