Nicely done. Limiting the resizing to the left and bottom removes the
ambiguity I was wondering about in terms of which sides gets adjusted.
I think I'll add this to my copy of the MC IDE, and have cc'd the MC
discussion list here in hopes that the crew agrees it would be useful to
add to the master version.
It's a nice compliment to the Shift key modifier, which moves the
objects by 10-pixel increments. With Option added for resizing, it
really rounds out the arrow key use quite well.
Thanks for the script - useful stuff.

How ?
Try this 8) :
on rawkeyDown theKey
if (the altKey is down) and (theKey >= 65361) and (theKey <= 65364)
then -- only if alt key is pressed when using arrow key
put the selectedObjects into objectsList -- keep in memory the
list of objects to resize
get number of lines of objectsList
if it > 0 then
repeat with x = 1 to it -- a loop to resize all the objects in the list
resizeObject line x of the selectedObjects,theKey
end repeat
end if
else
pass rawkeyDown
end if
end rawkeyDown
on resizeObject theObject,theKey
do "get rect of" && theObject
put numKey2Const(theKey) into direction
put getStep(direction,the shiftKey is down) into myStep -- step = 1
pixel or 5 pixels when the shift key is down
add myStep to item numKey2rectItem(direction) of it
do "set rect of" && (theObject) && "to it"
end resizeObject
function numKey2Const valueKey
-- Not necessary but usefull to not keep in mind 65361 when I
search my left. 8)
switch valueKey
case 65361
return "left"
case 65362
return "up"
case 65363
return "right"
case 65364
return "down"
default
return ""
end switch
end numKey2Const
function numKey2rectItem direction
if (direction is in "left,right") then
return 3
else
return 4
end if
end numKey2rectItem
function getStep direction,shiftFlag
if (direction is in "left,up") then
put -1 into myStep -- reduce the size of the object
else
put 1 into myStep -- grow up the size of the object
end if
if shiftFlag then put (myStep * 5) into myStep
return myStep
end getStep

I use this feature in Fireworks and other tools that let you
select a single bounds handle, but how would this work in Rev (or HC
for that matter, since it used the "marching ants" marquee to indicate
selection)?
