Is there an extension that lets me place an object with the arrow keys

If you are really serious about creating a extension I am up to the task but I will need some more information.

I posted an example in the Ruby API category (back in JAN 2018) that you can use to start with.

1. Just change the Testing module to whatever extension submodule name you want.
2. Wrap the whole thing in your unique top level namespace module.

What you will need to do is add the callback methods for certain keys, and apply the expected transformation to the instance attached to the cursor.

ADD: Oh, and also insert a test for whether there is an instance already selected, and assume that the user wants to Move rather than pick a new component to insert.
