Add shortcuts for rectangle resizing/movement

I would like to be able to define keyboard shortcuts for resizing and moving the image selection rectangle.

Currently the selection rectangle can only be altered using the mouse, dragging the boarders of the rectangle. Quite often I have difficulties grabbing the move handler of a boarder, thus accidentally discarding the current selection rectangle. Also it does not allow for accurate resizing, which is affected by many different factors like: mouse dpi resolution, mouse underground (desk, pad), steadiness of the user hand, monitor resolution, zoom factor limits, last but not least XnView's current inability to the scroll outside the image boundaries. Also, often the required size of a rectangle is so small, that the user cannot move it anymore due to XnViews limitation to properly detect it.

Ideally there would be shortcuts each for normal resizing/movement of the rectangle, and additional shortcuts that allow for slow, accurate editing. Probably a user editable value for accurate rectangle resizing/movement would be available, similar to the zoom factor settings.
