Is there a way to move graphic frames & images in micro movements?

[John Sgammato]

Do I remember correctly that this feature used to be left-Alt only?
There was a reason not to use the right-Alt key, something related to
using languages other than English, but I don't remember what it was. I
wonder if that reason is no longer an issue, or if the right-Alt key
ability to nudge objects is a bug?

Add [Shift] for larger movements (thanks, Fred!)

[Alt]-arrow key to move an object (or kern text) by 1 pt (at 100% zoom)

[Alt]-*[Shift]*-arrow key to move an object (or kern text) by 6 pt (at
100%
zoom)

Motion is relative to the zoom level. [Alt]-arrow at 200% will move
objects by 0.5 pt, [Alt]-arrow at 50% will move objects by 2 pts.

[Alt]-[Home] to reset manual kerning of selected text
