# Description

Implement quicker alignment options without the need of locking objects and
unlocking them which can really slow down the process.

# Details

Add an alignment mode concept where it can be one of:

- **auto** (if one object of group is selected then align relative to the page;
if several are selected then align objects relative to the surrounding bounding
box of everything selected like the already existing behavior)
- **last selected** (if at least two objects or groups are selected; align
everything relative to the last selected object or group)
- **first selected** (if at least two objects or groups are selected; align
everything relative to the first selected object or group)

# UI

It can be placed in the top bar where from a dropdown user selects an alignment
matching for them.

# Examples of existing implementations

- Inkscape supports much more alignment options, even in grid:

- VectorMotion supports 3 alignment options: relative to the canvas, selection
(as LibreOffice), and last selected
