Please add a toolbar in the Gaphor software interface

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Describe the solution you'd like

First of all, thank you for developing Gaphor, which is very simple and practical. During my development process, Gaphor has become the main modeling tool. The alignment function in the Tools menu is the most frequently used when drawing. Can you place the alignment toolbar in the interface, such as in the lower right corner or allow users to customize placement?

Describe alternatives you've considered

After selecting multiple objects with the mouse, right-click to display the alignment menu.

Hi @fangsz2022, thanks for the feedback.

Indeed the placement of the alignment actions is not ideal. We recognized it while developing already.

There's multiple options here:

• Add them to the right-click context menu. Either directly or in a submenu.
• Create a special tool bar for things like alignment.
• Add Alignment at the top of the property editor (right pane) as soon as multiple items are selected.
• Use an OSD panel to the diagram.

Its placement should not overwhelm (new) users.
