Arrow keys in pcb move component but not board while gschem move board but not component. It may be an improvement if board and board is moved a the same time, it make a difference then close to an edge.

Even though it would be great left hand at ordinary fine tuning during move I guess arrow still is the best. Otherwise "s", "e", "f", "c" could be an option for this, it would probably only work if these keys where context sensitive while moving component because otherwise it would consume to many keys.
