Roam by grid unit, not screen/other pixel

Vikas Dabas

When i look into env file, i learned that arrow key are used to roam around board based on pixel(most probably screen)

Can you help me to roam around based on grid unit.

Some times we need to move components on grid, i need to roam using arrow keys but on grid. it is random to roam based on pixel.

    Sorry for waking the thread,

    But while moving a block of component using "move" it flikers the screen and it moves wrong side. It comes to default position and than move one unit.

    than when pressed right key, it comes to default position and moves one unit. is there anything that it moves as single component.
