Another alternative UI

Hi Val,

I have a few ideas... It may be possible to do something like bring up extra options or controls for certain actions like a click and release on a grip instead of a click and drag.

That might flip it between some different kinds of modes that have more draggable points within in the widget (like for an origin point for example). It's a possibility anyway.

You can see an example of this in the Image widget frame currently - if you click and release on the rotation grip there, it will switch to a tri-ball rotation widget that lets you rotate around any of 3 different axes instead of only rotating in the plane which is what happens when you drag directly on that rotation grip instead of click on it.

But I don't really have all that completely nailed down yet though.

At first the primary focus of this will be just for simple stuff, since the Transform commands cover the precision stuff well already. But it would certainly be nice if it could incorporate more advanced transforms as well.
