Symbol Scruncher

Click or drag in the area where you want to pull the symbol instances toward each other. Opposite to this is click+alt+drag and it will reversibly push outward. Sort of works similar to the bloat and pluck tool in how it pulls inward and pushes outward.

Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS), and click or drag in the area where you want to push symbol instances away from each other.
