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.

Yup, in the 5.2.14 it worked just fine, have to go back to this version to be able to work in Krita.
Oh... :)
Strangely, I'm on 5.2.16 now, and it is working fine, so it was changed back to what it was in 5.2.14 and before? Or I'm missing something or hallucinating. Nonetheless, the bug is back in 5.3.0 and up (6.x.x too), what is quite disappointing, because that new text tool is very important in Krita, but that move tool bug is basically blocking a working pipeline to move to it... I wish I would have a power to somehow speed up fixing it in 5.3+ or 6.0+?
Yeah, I have reverted the patch from krita/5.2 branch only, and the patch is still in master and krita/6.0 branches... I guess I should just revert it from there as well.
Ah, so I wasn't hallucinating to see it start working in 5.2.15+ - good xD. I would really appreciate it if this change would be rolled out of 5.3.x/6.0.x till further refinement - I am absolutely ok with what you tried to add or fix by that, but without destroying what is working as should in that tool. Thanks in advance :)

Thanks!
All is great, just build a 5.3.2 from source and it is fine. Thanks one more, for that revert!
