The 1-unit nudge shortcut for shifting glyph outlines no longer works in Glyphs 4. It moves the cursor between glyphs instead. Version Glyphs 4 (build 4007 tested), earlier Glyphs 4 versions were also affected For Comparison: Glyphs 3 behaves correctly per handbook (Spacing) To Reproduce: Select a glyph outline in the Text view (T) + press Cmd-Ctrl-Left Arrow or Cmd-Ctrl-Right Arrow Expected: Cmd-Ctrl-Left arrow shifting the selected glyph outline left by 1 unit; Cmd-Ctrl-Right arrow shifting glyph right by 1u Currently the outline does not move. Instead, the cursor jumps to the previous or next glyph in the text view. Seems as a regression compared to Glyphs 3, where the shortcut worked as documented in the handbook. The 10-unit shift shortcut works correctly in Glyphs 4. Only the 1-unit shift shortcut is affected. Fine-tuning glyph positions with single-unit precision is currently not possible via single keyboard shortcut, which slows down detailed spacing works and deepens my v3 nostalgia. 😉 ---

This will be fixed in the next release. The shortcuts will work as they used to.
