Move Blueprint Controls Not Working

Post by mike_mc »

Under Settings > Controls > Miscellaneous, there are new options for moving blueprint entities and its absolute grid. They don't seem to be working. I've tried rebinding them to the arrows on my key pad rather than the default arrow keys and they still don't work. Has anyone else seen this?

Welcome on forums. When i try, they are working without any issues. Do you have some video where i can see the issue as its happening?

Here's something quick. I had my up/down/left/right remapped to I/K/J/L to start and rebound them in the video to the arrow keys. You can tell when I held down shift/control because the ghost/forced icon comes up.

Those controls are for manipulating blueprints with absolute grid enabled. What is shown on this video is usage of pipette, an entity from pipette is not a blueprint. Blueprint is this blue square which you can use to select multiple entities. Not a bug.

Its the same behavior, I recorded the pipette so you could tell when I was holding shift/control.

But why were you showing this with pipette which is not a blueprint and as such those keybindings are effectively ignored?
