  • While moving and holding down the CMD key, upon release the element will merge with other elements.
  • While moving and holding down the CMD and ALT keys, the element will snap to 100px. 
  • PC Users: CTRL can be used instead of CMD. 
  • Hold CTRL (CMD key on Macintosh) while resizing a shape to activate the snapping feature.
  • Hold SHIFT while resizing a shape to activate the preserve aspect ratio feature, so that both the width and height grow or shrink proportionally as you drag a corner or an edge.
  • Hold both SHIFT & CTRIL (or CMD key on MAcintosh) to get both preserved aspect ratio and snapping to other objects while resizing.
  • Hold both SHIFT, ALT & CTRIL (or CMD key on Macintosh) to get both: preserved aspect ratio and step-based snapping feature.
