If you're used to drawing software then you'll find a difference; with
drawing software you often configure that the nudge distance should be
"5 millimetres" or so, and if you're zoomed in far, then the nudge can
be half a screen. The way I did it in JOSM is that the nudge is always
one pixel, so depending on your current zoom level it can be anything
from a few hundred metres to 10cm. 

We could also change this so that the nudge is always a
real-world distance (say one metre or so) and thus independent of the
zoom level.

Bye
Frederik
