Implements "Auto-offset" (called "insert offset" in code) feature for Node Editor, developed during and after LSOC :)
Idea and sponsoring by Sebastian König, blendFX, Mathias Eimann, Mikavaa, Knick Design
When you drop a node with at least one input and one output socket onto a an existing connection between two nodes, Auto-offset will, depending on the direction setting, automatically and animated move the left or right and all of its following nodes away to make room for the new node.
The direction for offsetting can be toggled while you are moving the node by pressing „T“.
The auto-offset is enabled by default but can be disabled in the header of the node-editor. The offset margin can be changed in the editing section of the User Preferences.
Thanks a lot to the sponsors, and especially to Sebastian who helped *a lot* with this. That's how users can help developing Blender!
We already had that for global keymaps (used e.g. to generate shortcuts for menu entries),
but this wasn’t possible for modal keymaps yet (e.g. help message in header during
transforms and other modal operation).
This commit only adds needing background code, it does not change anything from user PoV.
Modal operators will be updated to use it in comming weeks.
Thanks to Campbell for revisions & suggestions. :)

(it would behave like 'bone envelope resize' instead).
Issue comes from the fact this transform op shares some common points with both BoneResize
and BoneEnvelope operations. However, trying to re-use `TFM_BONE_ENVELOPE` itself in this case
is bad idea, since this mode gets stored in transform op and is directly re-used for redo,
by-passing the whole init phase that shall be done in `TFM_BONESIZE` mode... So now,
we add a real new mode, `TFM_BONE_ENVELOPE_DIST`, while keeping most of existing code
and all existing behavior.
This is slightly hackish - but was already anyway, and avoids creating a full new set of
function for pretty much the same thing. As a side note, also makes it possible to
resize envelope distance outside of envelope viewing mode (from py or by adding a custom
shortcut).
editors.
Reporter used a hacky work-around by placing cursor at end of keyframe
range and doing ctrl-C ctrl-V repeatedly. This was working on 2.73 but
not anymore since the old selection is not kept.
Much better is to have duplication operator be repeatable. This commit
takes care of that.
There are a few things here which are not so nice:
* Position of proportional edit circle is not centered on data
(difficult to predict positions here since those are completely custom,
will probably be positioned at center of area later instead)
* Result is flushed to curve handles only at the end of the transform,
so if people have the graph editor open they will see handles lagging behind.
Our current keymap doesn't give us enough room to make such changes in
the event system. To fix small issues caused by this, we would need to do
drastic changes in Blender's keymaps and internal handling. It was worth
a try, but it didn't work.
I can write down a more descriptive statement in a few days, but for now
I need a break of this stuff.
extruding
More practical description of the bug: extruding with ctrl to use
snapping and confirming the action added another extrusion to the mouse
position.
This was caused from the second event that is now sent if a key release
happens within the click timeout. It triggers the "Extrude to Cursor"
operator since it is called by CTRL+LMB wich is exactly the event that
is sent in this case.
I'm not totally happy with this workaround since it changes the Confirm/
Abort event for all transformation actions to key release which *might*
result in more conflicts (fingers crossed this isn't the case). If this
happens we might need to write some special transformation handling for
extrusion.
This is an example of the difficulties we get from loading too much
functions on the same keys - we need to be careful with that!
This works by using the distance in the x axis only (usually artists want to influence nearby
keyframes based on timing, not value). Tweaking handles is the same as tweaking
the central handle. It's a bit ambiguous if proportional editing is really meaningful
for handles but will leave that for artists to decide.
New 'strip' snapping was simply not computed in case of constrained transform, hence init
'0' value was used as frame offset in this case.
This commit reorganizes a bit that snapping, to keep it more 'confined' into `snapSequenceBounds()`
dedicated function. It still needs a minor hack (setting snapping mode to something else than
defualt `SCE_SNAP_MODE_INCREMENT`, to avoid this snapping to be called by contraint code).
Thanks to Antony for review and enhancements.
This fix should be backported to 2.74.
