Description bugbridge 2006-08-29 14:52:11 UTC

Original submitter: sergeyp

Description:
reproducible with coco m14

steps to reproduce:
1. place any elemnt on any diagram
2. try to resize the elemnt without mouse
I see no way for size changing, we have no keys and have no properties for
elemnt size

The same problem is solved in. e.g. OpenOffice Draw tool.
After element is selected, Ctrl-Tab may be used to select resiging direction. 
Then arrows will resize element in selected direction.

We can't use Ctrl-Tab, but we may use smth like Ctrl-Alt-Tab...

Comment 2 Craig Conover 2006-11-07 03:54:43 UTC

Added two keyboard accessible ways to resize selected elements on the diagram:
1) Context menu item: Edit|Set Dimensions...
This will bring up a dialog to set the height, width and specify the resize
anchor point: center or the 4 corners (top left, top right...)
2) Use Alt-Shift-<arrows> to resize at 5 unit increments
Up = make taller
Down = make shorter
Left = make thinner
Right = make wider

It is now possible to resize elements with specified shortcuts.
But this caused a list of regressions, that will be filed as separate issues.
