Description vanyossi 2014-03-24 18:38:27 UTC

Line tool work nice to constrain angle at certain degrees. but other tools could benefit from the same behavior

Polygon and Polyline
Draw with path
Measuring tool *
Gradient missing 45° angles *
Assistant Ruler and Ellipse *

*These ones are the more relevant to have the function enabled.

Shift is used to end polytools but it may be necessary to move it to another key like CTRL. (ctrl already finished a polyline but before doing so changes the color). This is meant to keep the User experience uniform with all tools.

Reproducible: Always

Git commit b3af582293435373785167c2ccfbdece92e2ac71 by Wolthera van Hovell.
Committed on 25/08/2015 at 16:14.
Pushed by woltherav into branch 'calligra/2.9'.

Allow 'shift'-modifer after dragging an assistant handle to snap lines.

This gives horizontal snapping to most straight-line assistants.
The radial assistants will have the third handle snap to 'perfectly circular'.

Shift is a bit of an unfortunate choice given the dis-merge node function was
at one point also on shift, but shift-snap is similar to the other two tools
in krita(straight line and gradient tool), but that had been disabled anyway.

We've taken this as far as we can.
