Moving an object, one pixel at a time

The alignment toolbar offers some excellent options to lay out the QlikView objects on your sheet.

However, sometimes you may want to position your objects in a manner that cannot be done with the standard alignment options. Positioning the objects just right with the mouse is very hard, so consider this alternative: when you select an object and hold down the Control button,  you can use the arrow keys to move the object one pixel at a time. Using Control + Shift lets you move the object ten pixels at a time.
