1) We could distinguish between pressing ctrl before or after pressing the
mouse button, but that's not very attractive.
2) We could leave the ctrl key for deleting, and do a constrained
translation of the origin only when the guide is grabbed near its origin,
and do a free translation of the guide when grabbing it elsewhere (and
positioning the origin at the location where we release the mouse button).
3) We could find another way to easily delete guides and use ctrl for
constrained translation. That's what most consistent because ctrl is used in
many cases already for constrained transformations. But I'm afraid that
people already got used to ctrl-click deletion, so we will have to find a
_really_ good alternative if we want to get consensus on this. What about
pressing the delete key when already dragging? It's a bit more laborious
than just ctrl-click, but it's close to being perfect IMHO. Any other
suggestions?
What's wrong with only constrained rotating with Ctrl+Shift, and
deleting with Ctrl? This is what we have in the code right now and it
works for me.
