Description

I'm proposing the following new shortcuts:

Ctrl + Left - Move selection left 10px Ctrl + Right - Move selection right 10px Ctrl + Up - Move selection up 10px Ctrl + Down - Move selection down 10px Ctrl + Shift + Left - Resize selection left 10px Ctrl + Shift + Right - Resize selection right 10px Ctrl + Shift + Up - Resize selection up 10px Ctrl + Shift + Down - Resize selection down 10px

It could be 10 or other amount of pixels. Configurable or fixed.

This way without touching the mouse one can move the selection faster and then fine-tune the size and position if need be.
