Hi Lee, MoI is heavily focused on being lightweight and easy to use, so it is not expected to have a lot of extra repeated buttons in the default UI.

That's the "CustomUI" UI extension which you can find here:

The align points function is already present in the standard UI under Transform > Align.

It's a priority to try and keep it close to its current state by default.
