This is the second part of the series of articles summarizing some hints for working with the QlikView Designer. In this part I’ll show you what you need to know about “Moving/Copying objects” in QlikView.
- Part 1: Using the design mode of QlikView
- Part 2: Moving/Copying objects (this article)
- Part 3: Linking objects
- Part 4: Aligning objects

Keyboard shortcuts for moving/sizing
If you want to use only the keyboard you can use the following shortcuts:
| Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + up/down/left/right arrows | Move object by one pixel |
| Ctrl + Shift + up/down/left/right arrows | Move object by 10 pixel |
| Ctrl + C | Copy the object (like in any other Windows program) |
| Ctrl + V | Paste the copied object either on the same sheet, another sheet, or even another QV-application (like in any other Windows program) |
Locking objects
If you want to prevent that object can be moved/copied/sized you can lock an object by setting the following properties in the object’s properties:
