Use of the arrow keys to fine tune static objects placement

I wish in the mission editor that the arrow keys could be used for fine tuning the static object’s final location. A mouse isn’t presise enough imo

Definitely +1 to this idea. Using the arrow keys for very small placement adjustments would be very helpful.

I think with the plan of the new 3D scenario editor this will be a thing, that or coordinate input along the different axis

If you zoom in all the way in the mission editor, you can move objects and units centimeter-, or at least inch-wise. With the new shape display option of units/objects it is now really easy to place stuff very exact, imo.

ED stated, that there is no 3d editor is planned. But we have now the option to show objects and units as their top-down representation with their actual dimensions. That is, imo, perhaps even better than 3d placement (one draw back, though: the lay of land is still not easily to figgure out).
