Finding this feature really handy and not needing to reference the dimensions of the element in the properties so much, including x and y axis.

With that said and bearing in mind a design OCD 😄, it would be super handy if the following could be improved:

1. Real time updates on distances between elements when shifting/moving elements (using keyboard arrows). I find I have to hover off and then on again to see the distances updated and it would be nice if it can remain updating when I’m hovered over, in a consistent flow e.g.

2. When dragging elements, if possible it could display the distance between elements on both axis, so we can easily create margins between objects and not have to hover on nearby elements to check pixel distances e.g.  
 ![real%20time%20dimensions%202](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/2/9/292c096ba35a2f3d7f438669e0d4b8e7c89f42aa.gif)
