Move a concept with the arrow keys

I think this one is easy for you guys.
Suggestion :
It will be great to be able to move the selected objects(concepts, links, link phrases, etc.) of one pixel with the arrow keys of the keyboard instead of scrolling the canvas view.
Context 1 :
Because moving an object with the mouse is not as precise as the keyboard can be.
Context 2 :
Because you can only move an object(concepts, links, link phrases, etc.) whit a drag of the mouse and because when you drag an object with the mouse the first move is of 2 pixels, this is hard to place an object precisely where you want.
Context 3 :
Because you can only align objects with the left most concept, it would be great to be able to add a concept at the left of a row of other concepts perfectly aligned and place it at the right pixel position
Example :
Work like the arrow tool in Photoshop.
P.S. : I know that the suggestion of moving the canvas by holding the space key and dragging it whit the left mouse button as already been suggested. but since I suggest change in the keyboard shortcuts that affect it, I would like to add some weight to this suggestion here.
P.P..S. : Sorry if my English is not that good. I'm used to French.
