Creo Parametric - moving drawing entities with the keyboard arrow keys

Any / All,

I would love if Creo had a way to move items on a drawing in small increments easily. Preferably I'd like to use the keyboard arrow keys to "nudge" those items.
For context and my immediate need I have a symbol that I've place on a drawing. I can drag it around with the mouse to coarsely place it but then it'd be nice to nudge it with the arrow keys on my keyboard to exactly where I want it to be finally located. This is purely for aesthetic reason at the moment but I could see where, in the future, I might want to sketch something onto a view that needs to line up with other geometry.
Is this a current Creo function that I just haven't found?
If it's not then is there a way I can maybe tie a move mapkey to my arrow keys or something similar?

Google searches on this result in some suggestions to use the shift or ctrl keys with those arrow keys to seemingly do what I want but so far none of that has worked.

Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks.

You can use the Move Special function. I don't know if this can be automated with a mapkey or not.
