I am looking for a word to use for "fidget" in the following sentence:
He appeared nervous as he fidgeted his hands.
could you use "manos inquietas"?
The translator gave me something odd.

From my dictionary.
fidget verb, noun
1 moverse nerviosamente / Stop fidgeting! ¡Estate quieto!
2 fidget (about) with sth / juguetear con algo
Una persona inquieta (noun)
It looks like there is no direct Spanish equivalent.
