Ortho-lock defeat

I often use the orthogonal lock to aid quick and accurate layout of symbols, and it would be very handy to be able to defeat the ortho-lock momentarily without having to click the button off. An example would be if I were laying out a panel full of XLR connectors with the ortho-lock enabled and wanted to select a group of them from the top-left of the drawing and copy/move them to the bottom right (using the ctrl key). It would be nice if it were possible to have (say) the alt key defeat the lock: i.e. select the group of symbols, key 'ctrl-alt', and be free to move the copied symbols directly to wherever you please. Releasing the alt key then re-enables the lock. Possible?

You can use the F9 key to toggle Orthogonal Lock without having to click the button.

All modifiers and many other commands have FastKey equivalents - see Help, under Stardraw Features, FastKeys and shortcuts
