Move selection in one direction only

[Troken]

Hello,

I miss a fairly basic feature in XnView:
When you move around a selection I often need to move it in the X or Y axis only. In many programs you simply hold down Shift to accomplish this.

Can it be implemented in XnView? Any opinions on this?

+1 - I support this.

And also "Shift" for keeping ratio of the selection when resizing the selection, see topic Square selection with Ctrl or Shift.

Shift and? How to select the direction?

Depending on the direction of mouse dragging either the horizontal or the vertical axis is fixed (if deltaY > deltaX then X=fixed else Y=fixed). Try it out in MS Word for example and you will see... (I guess also works in OpenOffice).

Exactly, it depends on how you drag the selection. Also an old feature in i.e. all Adobes software (moving selections or moving objects). Very handy and hard to do without.

I'd like to see this implemented, soon (given that it's not too much work). Preferably it should work in view mode, fullscreen, and XnPaint.
