Is there a shortcut key I can use to temporarily lock movement of items in an up/down - left/right motion?

I have dredged the help file but cannot find it.

Currently I have to switch grid sizes and use arrow keys to do this, and it is eating up way too much time.

Ed,

Ok ... misunderstood .... what about "place vertical" or "place horizontal" ???

Iain, -"Fixing/Unfixing" is not quite the issue.

This request is to move an item on the screen either in the up/down or left right direction only by inhibiting the mouse travel in the other direction.

For example, I think in Boardmaker depressing the X (could have been Y key?) key allowed the item to freely move under mouse control only in the North/South dimension.

You can Fix and Unfix items by allocating a key shortcut.

This was a feature of Boardmaker (before I converted To EZPC) and I found it useful too!
