Move Selected Feature(s) (Ctrl+Shift+M)
To move area, line, and point features, select
the feature(s) to move, then select the Move
Feature(s) option from the right-click context menu or the Digitizer (Edit) toolbar button
Alternately hold down the ALT key when selecting the feature(s) to automatically enter move mode for the selected feature(s)/ vertices.
The cursor will change 
to indicate the move mode. Simply
hold down the left mouse button and drag the features to the desired new
location.
To move only the selected features(s) either horizontally or vertically, hold down either the 'X' or 'Y' keys on the keyboard to restrict the movement to that axis. Holding down both keys will move the feature(s) diagonally.
To undo a feature move, select the feature(s) to move back and then select the Restore Original Shape from the right-click context menu.
To shift/ offset selected features a particular distance, right click when the feature(s) to move are selected and select the Shift (Offset) Selected Feature(s) option. This will bring up a dialog allowing you to specify a distance to shift the selected features by in both the X and Y direction or some distance along a specified bearing. The bounding coordinates of the feature in the current projection/ coordinate system will be displayed at the bottom of the dialog that appears to help calculate an appropriate shift/ offset distance.
