- Start - start point of gap will be snapped
- Middle - middle point of gap will be snapped
- End - end point of gap will be snapped
No support
Action is not scriptable, as it requires selection of line by mouse.
gapline or gl
No additional commands are supported.
If Line Snap is not Free, mirrors edges of line (i.e setting for start edge of line are applied to end edge, and vise versa).
There is convenient base classes with predefined lifecycles and utility methods:
- Basic class for actions (LC_AbstractActionWithPreview)
- Basic class for action options widget (LC_AbstractOptionsWidget)
Also, a couple of convenient utility functions were added:
- Automatic reopening files that were open during last close of application (controlled by the "Open last opened files" setting on "Defaults" tab in Application Preferences). This is good timesaver for development and debugging, yet it might be useful for users too.
- Setting for defining amount of columns for left toolbar (located in Widget Options). Using this setting, it will be possible to address left toolbar size for small resolutions.
Video for settings is there: https://youtu.be/_f-mgKy449c
There are several issues that might be discussed and implemented:
- Different way of handling action options widgets lifecycle
Such approach does not rely on static fields, as action creates and holds the reference to options widget. Examples - actions within pull request.
- Better support of relative zero with mouse-based operations.
In general, there is support for relative zero point in command (via shortcut and relative coordinates settings).
However, it is not possible to snap to relative zero point using mouse (say, use existing relative zero as starting point for line etc.)
New actions (where practical) lets the user start the action with relative zero point as initial point (if SHIFT is pressed during mouse move) event.
Adding such functionality to existing actions may deliver better user experience and be convenient for the user.
