If I grab the lower right handle by default the upper left is the anchor and I can use the shift key to switch that to the middle of the object but there's nothing to keep the aspect ratio and resize. Is that correct? The manual lists some things as vision only but this isn't one of them. Maybe the type of object matters? Would also love to see a way to hide handles when nudging objects for alignment. Copying existing object also sometimes adds an using CTRL+D or copy and paste. Other times it leaves it in its original location which is what I'd rather have because offset not the same as the arrow or arrow+Alt nudge. > **[Windows, Linux, and Mac Keyboard Shortcuts | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/designer/windows-linux-and-mac-keyboard-shortcuts)** > > Using Keyboard Shortcuts in the Designer | **Proportional Resize** | Resizes a component while maintaining its aspect ratio. | Hold Ctrl + resize a component | | --- | --- | | | | Alignment keys are vision only. ☹
