Constrain movement of clips to vertical (Holding CTRL)

This has been committed to the trunk. Hold down 'ALT GR' while dragging the clip to activate. An indicator line that aligns with the clips start position will appear, and the clip will snap to this line when released.

Fixed regression with this patch, that broke saving a project due to the "snap_line" object

I changed this quite a bit, to no longer show the snap_line, and completely constrain the horizontal movement while dragging when the CTRL key is pressed (left or right key). I think you will like this behavior better... since it acts more similar to image editors such as Gimp or Inkscape. Just hold the CTRL key, and drag a clip to test this.

Yep that works well. Good idea to use it on transitions too. There is 1
small problem with the key release event, I'll fix that tonight.

Do you have any thoughts on when we should do a string freeze, for
translations? Someone is working on a patch to add some extra configurable
values, but I don't know when they'll complete it. Also, I don't know how
many GTK changes we want to make as it affects the GTK3 work Mael has been
doing.

Cheers,
Andy.

I'm hoping to do a string freeze very soon. I'm just working my way through all the patches and testing everything, and making small adjustments.

Hey, I just applied a patch that fixes something related to this. So, be sure to get latest first, and see if it's still broken. Thanks!
