Drag your textures on their prims!

Wouldn't it be great to be able to manipulate your textures on their prims? Every builder knows how hard it can be in SL to align your textures. Well ... Suppose the -when in edit mode- CAPS LOCK puts you in texture drag mode. You would be able to shift/rotate/zoom textures on their prims using a similar style of hotkey usage that we now have whilst camming (CAPS LOCK would turn camming off).

Just an idea :)

PS.: I don't mean from inventory onto a prim.... I mean having cam-like abilities to manipulate textures once they've been put on a prim.

ya...I had to think about it for awhile..how would you make it precise?....would take some getting used to...but im sure after a month or so I wouldn't even remember having to manually change vertical and horizontal offsets...Great idea!:)

Hmm, rather than using caps-lock it might be easier just to put this functionality under the texture tab (where positioning controls don't work anyway). But otherwise I think this is a really good idea =)
