Ok. I know it's the silly season but can someone tell me where the nudge control distance setting for the arrow keys is located? I want to control the distance setting as the current default one is too high. There must a control surely but I cannot find it.
It's not in the UI yet. Maybe in the next version. For now you can change it in your ~/.inkscape/preferences.xml, by setting e.g. <group id="nudgedistance" value="10"/> (the value is in points).
While I'm on nudge I notice that operation of nudge seems a bit erratic on occasion. Sometimes an object does not nudge with the arrows until it has been moved manually with the mouse. When it happens none of the arrows work. I'll try and document more precisely when it occurs.
Most likely the arrows don't work when the mouse is not over the canvas. It's documented here:

If the misbehavior you experience is different, please file a detailed bug report.
