Base Construction Keyboard Controls?

I just wanted to make sure I am not missing anything here. There are no keyboard controls for placing items, such as while placing an item you can hit left arrow to nudge the item left, right? That would make placing items so much easier sometimes. The mouse just does not cut it all the time.

Thanks,

Correct.

click click click hooooooollllldd draaaaaaaagggggg hooooollllllld drag click

Also, it seems that each item (or set of items) have their own snap grid. Some items' grids are smaller, while others have a larger grid. Sometimes moving your camera angle can help with placing items where you want them.

the esc key will deslect a item...its handy if you click and grab a wrong item.

The only two keyboard controls that I know of are ESC (to deselect) and R (to rotate). The fact that R is hard coded to function as a 90 degree rotation is extremely annoying to me ... because that's the key I normally use to Strafe Right.


It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Thanks for the replies, I was really hoping I was missing something lol. An "undo" command would be fantastic, oh well.

I did figure out something kind of like what I was referring to. If you have an item selected, while holding down the mouse button, and want to move it a tiny amount just move your character. It is easiest with movement powers off, of course. An example is I wanted to move my meeting table a tiny bit to the left and the mouse was moving it to far or up or down anything but the tiny bit I wanted it to. I selected the table realigned it where it was then tapped my move left key and the table moved with my character slightly to the left where I wanted it. This isn't useful very often, but it does come in handy sometimes.

Thanks again
