Changing 'Keyboard Increment' or 'Cursor Distance' in mms
Re: Changing 'Keyboard Increment' or 'Cursor Distance' in mms
There is an option called Steps in Inkscape Preferences (it's near the bottom of the preferences dialog), but it's in pixels.
You'll have to calculate how much that is in mm, 1px in Inkscape is 1/90 of an inch. Inkscape says 1px is 0.282mm.
