I don't know of a key to temp disable that but it can be turned on or off in the Ease of Access settings, however if turned off it will disable the window hot keys listed below.

Seems like a strange way of doing it, however it still does not work as intended, the behavior i am seeing is this.ġ. Then go to “Make the keyboard easier to use” and uncheck the item “Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen.”.Īfter applying the settings, if you drag the window to the edge of the screen, it will not be “ auto-maximize” and you can use the function with the hotkeys ( W in+Up, Win+Left Win+Right,etc.).

(Although whether it's grouped doesn't actually seem to matter-an ungrouped, multi-select of the same sort behaves the same way.We can do this to enable the keyboard actions and disable the mouse actions:ġ.

What I do know is I'm starting to hate Illustrator every time I have to fire it up these days.Īnyone else see this? Anyone have any idea how to fix it? File a bug report?ĪDDED: In playing with this just after my original posting, it appears that the described issues occur only with groups of objects.

Maybe it's related to moving from Windows on CS3 to Mac on CS6, who knows. I am hoping I "just don't get it." That there's an option mis-set somewhere in here. Quite honestly, that's a pain in the butt, and it's made literally everything I do in Illustrator take roughly twice as long. The only way I can find to accurately position the object is open the Transform dialog, and enter the measurements by hand. I can arrow-key the object all over the workspace and it won't snap properly. The object moves by increments of the grid (1/8" in my example), but the object is not grid-aligned, and cannot be made to be. And yes, I know it sounds like the Snap to Grid is off, but it's not. The objects are always-ALWAYS-some fraction "off" in one direction or another. In CS6, this really just plain doesn't work-either with arrow keys, or moving the object with the mouse. If it was an uneven size, the edges would snap, making it easy to at least align the left and top edges (for example) where I want the object to sit. In CS3, I could just use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the object around, and its edges would precisely snap, as expected, to the grid, with no muss or fuss. I want it to sit, say, 2" from the top, and 4" from the left edge. I paste a 1/2" x 1/2" object from another file, or just copy and paste an existing one in the same file. Use case: I set-up a grid with 1/8" spacing.

To my eyes, Illustrator's Snap to Grid functionality is either broken-or I'm not understanding a (new?) option.
