Bug Description
This is a feature request.
Currently the selection tool cycles between scaling and rotating the selected object, rather like Corel Draw.
The requested feature is this: add one more mode to the cycle, which allows all 4 corners to be freely placed.
Or, simply allow unconstrained movement of all 4 corners in the first mode, if both ctrl and shift are pressed together.
This would give us the often-requested "perspective" tool, in an intuitive and hopefully real-time-
The Effects->Modify Path->Perspective tool does the same thing, but in a terribly unintuitive way. The one thing going for it is reproducibility, which is often difficult with analog interfaces as I'm suggesting.
To help make the results reproducible, I suggest that the context tools offer height:height and width:width ratios so that they can be manually entered.
I'd also love to see the clone facility work with stepped ratios (as above), and possibly a jitter factor for each ratio. That would be quite the texture tool.

There is currently a LPE perspective tool in SVN at may make this need less. Please check out a recent devel version.
