Electrical – Altium Designer – Move an object only horizontally

altium

Is there an easy method to move an object only in the horizontal direction? I know what there is the "Move Selection by X, Y, …" command but I am looking for something that uses the cursor, since I want to be able to visualize the change in real time. For example, sometimes I need to move designators around but I still want it to be in line with other designators .

Press and hold the "Alt" key and then move the object with the cursor in the left or right direction.

Note: This also works in the up/down and 45 degree angle directions.
