Description dra.w.p.il.e+bugskde 2026-02-08 01:29:12 UTC 
The move tool used to start a move when pressing an arrow key. After commit https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/commit/c463e9c0a08228b6a0412faa3994d80dc07b4e94 that fixed Bug 513855, it no longer does so. Reverting that commit restores the behavior.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Draw something on the current layer so that you have something to move.
2. Equip the move tool.
3. Press an arrow key.

OBSERVED RESULT

Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT

A move is started and the contents of the layer move in the pressed direction.
