When you are using the arrow keys to control a sprite, how do you make it go smoothly without those annoying little jerks when you use

move () steps

Drives me crazy!!!!!
Please help

Try this block:

glide () secs to x: (0) y: (0)

Or try

repeat (10)
change x by (3)
end

Unless you're talking about the jerks you get when you use -

when [p arrow v] key pressed

In which case you should be using -

if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> then
end

Thank you guys so much! Using a mix of your replies, I now have a perfectly smooth-moving sprite.
Thanks again!

when green flag clicked
forever
if <<key [ v] pressed?> = [yes]> then
move () steps
end
end

Yay!

Tysm!!!!!

Feel free to use this script I made to help people out, https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/155224858/ It uses velocity to speed up and slow down instead of stopping suddenly. Please credit @-Warbler- if used.

Having trouble? Try this block:

repeat (10)
change x by (5)
end

Or

glide () secs to x: (0) y: (0)

And heck ya

move (1) steps

I can’t wait to see your awesome projects!!

Hey folks! Thanks for your help! However, this topic is old - so I don't think they're looking for answers anymore. I would suggest looking for newer topics (that still need to be answered) and respond to those instead.
