Description bugbridge 2006-08-29 14:52:11 UTC 
Original submitter: sergeyp

Description:
reproducible with coco m14

steps to reproduce:
1. place any elemnt on any diagram
2. try to resize the elemnt without mouse
I see no way for size changing, we have no keys and have no properties for
elemnt size
Comment 1 Andrew Korostelev 2006-11-01 11:01:47 UTC 
The same problem is solved in. e.g. OpenOffice Draw tool.
After element is selected, Ctrl-Tab may be used to select resiging direction. 
Then arrows will resize element in selected direction.

We can't use Ctrl-Tab, but we may use smth like Ctrl-Alt-Tab...
Comment 2 Craig Conover 2006-11-07 03:54:43 UTC 
Added two keyboard accessible ways to resize selected elements on the diagram:
1) Context menu item: Edit|Set Dimensions...
This will bring up a dialog to set the height, width and specify the resize
anchor point: center or the 4 corners (top left, top right...)
2) Use Alt-Shift-<arrows> to resize at 5 unit increments
Up = make taller
Down = make shorter
Left = make thinner
Right = make wider
Comment 3 Andrew Korostelev 2006-11-07 13:22:09 UTC 
It is now possible to resize elements with specified shortcuts.
But this caused a list of regressions, that will be filed as separate issues.
