Thanks for your message, but please don't report multiple issues in a single bug in the future.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce that with Spectacle 18.04.

> move rectangle from keyboard arrow
I think that's a valid wish, let's make the bug about that. I'll adapt the title a bit.

Add arrow keys to move and resize selection rectangle

Summary:
Add arrow keys to move and resize selection rectangle.
{key Arrows} alone moves in large increment
{key Shift} + {key Arrows} moves in small (single pixel) increments
{key ALT} + {key Arrows} resize rectangle in large increment
{key ALT} + {key Shift} + {key Arrows} resize rectangle in small increment

Test Plan:
- Apply patch
 - Launch Spectacle; begin Rectangular Selection
 - Select a rectangle with the mouse
 - Use {key Arrows} to move rectangle (large increment)
 - Use {key Shift} + {key Arrows} to move in small increment
 - Use {key ALT} + {key Arrows} to resize rectangle (large increment
 - Use {key ALT} + {key Shift} + {key Arrows} to resize rectangle in small increment
 - Complete capture with mouse or {key Enter} key
 - Ensure right selection is captured after moving and resizing rectangle

Thank you, we saw the log.
We think that it is very amazing that the proposal actually became a function.
People who shaped it are very wonderful.
we do not know how to apply the batch but we think we will investigate.

You're welcome! Thanks to Scott for implementing the feature.

BTW, the change will be included in the next release, which will be Spectacle version 18.08 on August 16.
