Moving Things in Your Scrivener Binder

One thing that used to frustrate me in Scrivener was that when I dragged files up or down in the binder, they tended to shift right and left as well, becoming more or less indented (some use the terms “child” and “parent” documents) and ruining the structure I had set up.

Easily Moving Files

Well there is a super easy fix for that. Shift+Command+Arrow (or, as you can see below Edit -> Move -> Move Left, but really, the shortcut keystrokes are a lot easier).

Moving right or left will make the file a “parent” or “child” whereas moving up or down simply changes the order.

Easy as pie.
