So we will end up like this A) when dragging with no modifiers we will move the origin to the pointer location (freely, in 2D) B) with ctrl we will have a constrained translation of the origin along the guide C) with shift we will rotate D) with ctrl-shift we will rotate to increments of the absolute angle E) when pressing delete when hovering above a guide in the selector tool, or while dragging a guide, the guide will be deleted. We can even add a context menu as Luca suggested
If I remember correctly then this quick-deleting was not available in v0.46, or was it? We'd better change (or at least find consensus on either solution) now, before we hit the masses!
I agree. And I'd vote for the above suggestion, too, because it's the most consistent and foreseeable. Indeed, quick-deleting with Ctrl+click was introduced not so long ago, more or less as a quick solution and because it wasn't foreseeable that full translation/rotation abilities of guides were going to be implemented soon. Now that these are availabe I'd personally vote for the more consistent set of controls as described by Diederik above. The only small thing is that I find it a bit inconvenient to use Delete because it's located at the top right corner of the keyboard instead of conveniently on the lower left. But it's still good enough, I guess. Perhaps we can additionally have something like Ctrl+Alt+Click for quick-deletion (or something similar; I don't know what would be most appropriate)?
