Two handles, one for free sliding and one for snapping, making a modeless interface with no needless movement.

It has to be better than moving the mouse perpendicular to the desired direction of motion repeatedly.

And/Or hold down ALT after starting the drag.

Good idea on the arrow mod, but how would it work for resizing or rotation.

I think the rotation system works. Moving out from the object gives greater accuracy, so it feels right to start snapping (for perfect accuracy) by moving far enough out.

I don't think double handles would work well for resizing though. It's hard enough sometimes to grab the handle you want. ALT is still the best option there, I think.
