Please tune the DOT and COMMA shortcut, it would make my day if i could rotate finer than 90°.
One could use the rotation alike the movement together with CTRL and SHIFT
I would suggest edit boxes under “Shape Move Increments” in settings dialog.
e.g.:
CTRL+DOT 1.5°
SHIFT+DOT 15°
DOT 90°
That is the problem!
The < and > are on the very left of the German keyboard. I tried them and they rotate shapes 45°.
But i spend a lot of time nesting my shapes for cutting. Pattern parts for clothing have no 90° angle and have to be rotated just tiny angles to place them.
Moving shapes with the keyboard works perfectly using this settings: Arrow 1mm, shift arrow 10mm and ctrl arrow 0.1mm. Switching between keyboard and mouse, just to rotate the items a little bit and then continue moving with the keyboard is very uncomfortable and time consuming.
I do not like your suggestion Ctrl to do 10 degree increments, and Ctrl+Shift to do 5 degree increments, as you could just press Ctrl+Shift twice to have the same result as Ctrl.
Please consider using my suggestion 1.5° 15° 90°
Shift+Dot is already 45 degrees, and has been for some time, so I won’t change that, but the Ctrl+ versions are not set yet, so I have changed them to Ctrl+Shift = 1.5 deg, and Ctrl = 15 deg.
Ctrl + “.” and “,” works, but Shift+Ctrl “,” and “.” does not rotate anything as there is “:” and “;” on that keys. Shift+Ctrl would work only on that very left key on my keyboard, as both “<” and “>” are on one key.
I’ve modified the code to check for the base key scan code, not the character it uses, so the Ctrl+Shift combination should work now regardless of what other things are on that key. I will try to get a new test build up and send you a link to try it, as I don’t have a way to verify this easily here.
