Nudge an entity using arrow keys?

Hi Forum:
I was wondering if it's possible to nudge (move in tiny increments) an entity, say a Block, using the arrow keys.

Not that I know of. And honestly I'm not sure for what that could be useful. Please elaborate a bit more.

Hi Slyde,
No that feature is not available in QCAD yet, maybe add a feature request!
Alongside QCAD I use another program and with that,nudging blocks and dimensions is extremely useful I agree.

Hi Husky & Clive:
Thank you both for your information. My thoughts exactly, Clive. Maybe that will be added in a future release.
Have a great day, gentlemen. And thank you both for responding.

Yes, I also miss that sometimes but never got round to implement this.
Anyway, it's now implemented for the next release:
