seems to me that it's reasonable to have Ctrl+(move element handle) be
fixed aspect resize (though shift might be a better choice). I can see
few cases where you really need to have horizontal/vertical movement for
resizing elements. The same problems would apply whether we use a key
modifier or a menu entry.
Perhaps a useless bit of info, but relevent to certain people: many
window managers capture one of the modifier keys to allow moving or
resizing the window itself. I think it's almost always the ALT modifier
on x86 boxen.
It rather annoyed me that Gimp overloaded the ALT key for some tools.
Yes, there's definitely a problem. I think it's the WM's fault, mainly.
Emacs has used Alt & Control for ages.
If you happen to have a keyboard with Windows keys, they usually map to
Hyper. The only sensible use for them is to have them be the WM modifier
key.
I would like to keep off Alt, though. Hopefully, we can make do with
Control (or Shift, as it may be).
