MOVING TILE ALIGNMENT
You can move the alignment of a single tile or a tile block on a page by first selecting a tile, or a block of tiles (including across multiple tile pages)., then when holding the ALT key, press the ARROW keys to move tiles by one pixel at a time. This affects the entire selection; and it is very useful when you wish to rip tiles, but the rip does not align to the Tile Editor grid.
