Rotate/Set Default Axis

[suzuki]

A modest request, I think: Could the "Set Default Axis" workflow be worked into the "Rotate" options? For example, alongside "Last" and "Default", an option to "Set Default Axis" before proceeding with the "Default Axis" option.

I may be abusing these two functions recently where something else would work better, but I think it saves a couple clicks, requires fewer mental hoops, (lets you think and click "Rotate" first), and makes it obvious where to "Set Default Axis"--just a better experience, esp. if you happen to be intent on abusing "Rotate" and "Set Default Axis".... -_-

FWIW!

P.S. I suppose "Default Axis" is used by other functions and Wings was made this way for economical reasons (UI or coding or maintenance), but perhaps those functions could also benefit from invoking "Set Default Axis". (Same for "Bounding Box"--I seldom get this to work for me--just don't get it yet....)

Why not assign hotkeys for both Set Default Axis and Rotate Default Axis (and make the hotkeys similar for mnemonics' sake)?
