Add functionality to move stages using the arrow keys on a keyboard

[Anonymous]

Add the functionality to be able to move stages within the process & object studio using the arrow keys on a keyboard. Currently the only way to move stages is by using the mouse and this can prove difficult when attempting to move and restructure sections of a process/object. The application doesn't respond well to moving stages with a mouse and can lag making it difficult to move and align with other stages of a process/object. Adding functionality to move with arrow keys would enable us to move stages with more precision and in a user friendly way.

Would love to see this. Each press of the arrow key should move the selected stages one grid square in the direction of the arrow.
