NEW FEATURES

Unreliable corporate network? You can now connect to Sketch Mirror by typing an IP address directly

OTHER

You can now customize the arrow nudge distance (used for moving and keyboard-resizing) by using two hidden preferences, nudgeDistanceSmall and nudgeDistanceBig.

// Example: this sets Arrow distance to 2 pixels, and Shift+Arrow to 8 pixels
defaults write com.bohemiancoding.sketch3 nudgeDistanceSmall -float 2.0
