If I have any voting rights at all, I'll vote for the circle mode (ie. the one that is activated by Shift). /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://members.xoom.com/sneeze/
Re: Modifier keys (second call for votes)
Hello Sven This is Karins vote. She I think circle restricts is the best. It gives you a better control of what you are doing and it simply feels better. She would also love if you could make it snap to guide as I suggested in my mail yesterday.

Re: Modifier keys (second call for votes)
Hello Sven This is my vote (Karins tomorrow). IMHO I think circle restricts is the best. It gives you a better control of what you are doing and it simply feels better. My suggestion is however (if it's possible) to be able to snap to guides in line preview drawing. I mean then you will have the rec restrict also without restricting the user to rec restrict only ;-).
