interactivity speed-visual feedback while nudging points

[i8bozo]

hello,

i've noticed some lag time when i nudge a point. let's say i select a point and wish to nudge it 4 or 5 pixels in any direction. i hit the arrow keys to nudge it and there seems to be a lag time from the first time i hit the key until i stop hitting the keys and the shape reflects the point's new position. i find myself not getting enough visual feedback and overshooting the location where i wanted the point. this causes me to have to nudge it back in the other direction a few pixels to get to the place i originally wanted to be. is there any way to speed up the visual feedback of nudging points?

the other solution would be for me to quit drinking coffee and i don't see that happening any time soon. =)

thanks!

If you set the View to foreground, the program stops rendering to the alpha channel and you get instant feedback. Switch the View to Output when you want to see the alpha channel.

You can also press and hold the nudge key which should move just the outline (continuously, with the key repeat speed) until you release.
