No, since guides are useless unless they are seen and so I feel that 
pressing shift should never enable them.  Note that snap-to-guides are 
always enabled when they are showing for about the same reason.

Good catch!
Hmm, not as easy as a simple move, though. Using alt has problems so I'd 
like to avoid that as much as possible. And not using ctrl here seems 
like an awful waste.
Ok, I'm going to duplicate the above described move along X/Y for both the 
control and the alt keys.  That should help with discoverability of the 
feature.

Any suggestions are welcome!
