That's pretty sweet. I love how the X and Y axis is used to control the colour stop. It's so simple.
You could use the left/right arrow keys to change the selected colour stops position and up/down to change its transparency.

Hello everybody,
I am writing to propose an enhancement on the way stops are defined and edited in the gradient editor on Inkscape. Sorry for cross-posting to the user and devel lists, but I would like feedback from both crowds.
The idea is that the stops of the gradient are shown as circles on a larger gradient preview area, with the X axis representing the offset of the stop and the Y axis representing the alpha of a particular stop. Also, note that the circles contain the colour that corresponds to the particular stop. Please see the attached diagrams.
Despite being a programmer myself, I won't be able to implement this feature right now, mainly due to my limited C++ ability and lack of familiarity with the Inkscape codebase. Hopefully someone will like it enough to give it a go.
It would be great to see what people think.
