Hi all.
I have a work to our UI group, It's about the feature described in this video [1] - rotate workspace
There is a recent discussion higly recomend to read [2]:
We need to define the way to handle workspace rotation:
There is no realtime rotation, so we need to select an angle and start redraw, so the option to a tool to it become a bad idea, except we have a pixel preview of current workspace to "phantom" the rotation as Martin point, but not sure about it
The rotation is done by the current workspace center, no problem where the document are on it.
We need to define: * WIDGETS * Shortcuts
1: Shortcuts. only one direction, a modiffier [XXX] rotate by prefs rotate steps with [XXX] modifier rotate in 45 or 90 degree from 0 could be a option
2:Widget. Two options: Popup from button or toolbar, there is some discussion about in [2] I want it defined to know the way to take, both have things good and bad.
