Resizing items with click and drag with a mouse
Hi

Is it just me, or does the sizing corner of a selected item only do both X and Y at the same time?

One would expect the drag direction to set the resize direction, as works with move.

Re: Resizing items with click and drag with a mouse
If you want to resize along the 3 dimensions, you should press the Shift key while moving the sizing corner, and if you want to resize only along one dimension (X or Y), you should press the Ctrl key (alt / option key under macOS) while moving the sizing corner.
Sorry, these two keys are actually missing in the shortcuts list.

Thanks. I got caught out because the unviewable light panel doesn't react that way. Always behaves as though the Shift key is pressed.
