I hate having to resize small elements in order to move them, is there a way to move them without doing it (something akin to the middle mouse button moving windows in KDE)? Would also be nice to remove the outline for scaling, so I can actually see what's going on

You can move small elements without dragging them 🙂

The documented way is:

  • Select the element
  • Use the arrow keys to move it with precision

That avoids having to grab the resize area first.

About the outline: I couldn’t find any documented option to hide the selection/scaling outline. So as far as the docs say, that part is not customizable.

If you want, I can also show you the best workflow for moving tiny elements in FancyMenu without accidentally resizing them 🧰

What about being able to resize elements via keyboard? I cannot select the horizontal scaling because the corner ones are in the way.

I couldn’t find any documented way to resize elements via keyboard only. 🧭

The best workaround in the docs is to use Advanced Sizing:

  • right-click the element
  • choose Advanced Sizing
  • set the size values directly

That avoids the resize handles entirely, so you don’t have to fight with the corner grabbers.

For moving:

  • you can already use the arrow keys to move a selected element precisely

About the scaling outline/handles:

  • I also couldn’t find any documented option to hide them

This could be loosely related to editor mouse/input issues like Unable to focus text input field and Can't highlight text with your mouse in certain windows, but neither issue is specifically about resize handles.

If you want, I can also show you the exact steps for using Advanced Sizing on a tiny element without guessing 🙂
