Assume I have an object somewhere/anywhere on the canvas. I want to move the object exactly 23 pixels to left.

I know about 3 ways to do this:

• Do the calculator trick. Insert the X-coords into any calculator and subtract 23 to it.
• Edit global preferences so that arrow keys moves objects in one step (not two). Then click left key 23 times.
• Make a square, width is 23, and border thickness must be zeero. Align the right edge of the temporarly square to the left edge (or any point that can snap) of the object. Then align the objects left edge of the object to the left edge of the temporary rectangle. Delete temporary rectangle.

Why not:
In the X-position box, just add "-23" to the number that's already there and hit Enter? And just same for Y-position box. In a spesific case, the X-position box could be entered "131,920-23". And it moves 23 to left and number in position box updates.

Or does it exist better methods than already listed above?

Object > Transform… > Move

Um Thanks

Sometimes I wonder why I tend to beleive things are more complex then they are
