Sketch Plugin to quickly resize the width and height of a layer through easy keyboard shortcuts.

Similar to holding 'alt' whilst resizing with the mouse; 'Nudge Resize' works the same.

## Usage

⌥ alt + → = Expand layer size horizontally

⌥ alt + ← = Condense layer size horizontally

⌥ alt + ↓ = Expand layer size vertically

⌥ alt + ↑ = Condense layer size vertically

**Note: Add ⇧ Shift to increase the nudge size**

The amount the layer resizes by is based on the user's nudge size:

- default = 1

- default large (shift) = 10

This means that if you change your settings with [nudg.it](http://nudg.it), it will respect this preference.

## Why make this plugin?

Currently, you can resize a layer by using 'cmd + arrow' or 'cmd + shift + arrow', but that resizes with a fixed top, and a fixed left side — what about resizing from the centre of the layer. I would often resize a layer with these commands, then move the layer to try and re-centre the layer where it was. This plugin/script is a real time saver — I use it every day without fail.

## Installation
