Alignment button options (align to artboard) #1720

This popover menu is currently "coming soon".

We'd like to have a checkbox (off by default) called "To Artboard" which makes the alignment of all selected layers work in relation to the artboard rather than their collective bounding box.

There has also been a request for letting the user choose a specific layer's bounding box to align all other layers to (meaning that chosen layer doesn't move, but the others do).

Potentially one more feature that would be handy is a way to choose between "deep" and "shallow" treatment of nested layers, where only the selected folders get aligned vs. each of their contents get aligned.

I can take this on. The checkbox UI element won't require any frontend coding, right?

No javascript required, the widgets are defined in select_tool.rs:174 @nico-mayora. An example of a checkbox in a popover widget is the snapping options defined in document_message_handler.rs:1147.

I think my PR is ready for review if anyone would give it a look :^) https://github.com/GraphiteEditor/Graphite/pull/1724
