I'm not sure this is the right place, but I would personally much like as much control over UV editing actions as there is in the 3D view. It's been like anything beyond snapping to pixels resulted in meaningless "RAT fold" precision because there was no operating panel.

We now use the #user_interface project sub-pages for planning. Especially the Workboard and Code Review pages.

I'm doing a first pass on arranging tasks on the workboard currently. The tasks listed here I already moved to the appropriate columns. So closing this.
