On SAI if you try to transform a selection, there is 4 buttons that appear to help you do easy tasks quickly : Flip Horizontally/Vertically, Rotate 90° CW/CCW (in SAI, they appear in the equivalent of the "tool options" panel of Krita). Adding at least the Flip Horizontally/Vertically buttons would be very convenient, so people wouldn't have to spend time clicking on Rotate, then carefully adjusting X/Y to be exactly 180 in the tool options. Reproducible: Always the layer menu would have layer flip option, the transform option docker would have flip buttons for the pixels which have transform activated , the main goal is to reduce the time required for simple and recurring transform actions like flip and rotate 90 degree.
Yes, these would be good to have. It's also really easy to implement, it would be a good getting-started job.
WISHGROUP: Small Usability Fixes
We should probably merge the Mirror/Rotate Layer actions and make them Mirror/Rotate Selection if anything is selected. This probably needs a bit of renaming of the actions.
