I am doing kerning manually in GIMP, i.e. trying to move letters closer to each other, but my hand movements are not exact enough on my mouse so whenever I move a layer to the left or right, it also goes a little in the vertical direction. I wonder if there is some feature that enables me to move a layer left or right (alternatively only up and down) so that I don’t accidentally sway it a little down or a little up. Does anyone know? I am a beginner when it comes to GIMP.
