Hi,

I saw that we have an Github issue open for a while so I would like to know the status of this functionality.

enhancement managed on taiga contributions-welcome good first issue

# _Feature request:_ Show distance between elements while moving ## Actual be…havior Positioning cursos over any element and holding down ALT key displays distance between selected element and element where cursor is over. If try to move selected element while holding down ALT key the element doesn't move. ## Expected behavior (like Figma) On moving any element with direction keys (up, left, right or down) and holding down ALT key displays distance between selected element and element where cursor is over.

Kind regards,
Vitor
