I compared Arrow (without modifier) and Alt + Arrow. The modifier-less variant resulted in smaller steps (0.529 mm) than the variant with Alt (0.756 mm). Holding Shift additionally will multiply by ten in both cases (i.e. 7.559 mm and 5.292 mm respectively).
- Ah. Yes, Alt / Shift modified movements are screen pixels, and get finer when you zoom in, and rougher when you zoom out, while arrow movements move by a set amount of document pixels (that you can change in the settings). That's true (but doesn't change the relationship between Alt + Shift). And it also appears inconsistent - but inconsistent to make things more convenient... if that makes any sense.
It is documented correctly: https://inkscape.org/en/doc/keys092.html#d0e2698
