There is also a Translate tool in the Processing Toolbox: Vector Geometry.
That will do this operation on the entire file.
The tool is named for the linear algebra operation, and is not to be confused
with gdal_translate for reprojecting features (Translate (convert format)).

I have several polyline objects (hundreds) that I want to move on the map
by a short distance (3ft to the N, S, E, or W) in a cardinal type
direction.
I see the Move Objects tool in QGIS 3 but that doesn't allow me to specify
a distance. I have used the Offset tool in the QAD plugin to create
parallel lines but that is very tedious and creates a copy of the object.
Is there a way to select a bunch of objects and just move them in one
direction or another by x # of feet?
Thanks!

Ryan,
The advanced digitizing panel allows you to use the move tool and input a
specific distance (use the "d" shortcut). Here is some documentation:
