Super Nudge

I just discovered that if you hold the shift key down while using the arrow keys on your keyboard to nudge selected objects, each nudge will be about three times the normal nudge.

This is nice when you prefer not to zoom out for a bigger nudge.

The more I type nudge the dumber it sounds :)
