I switched to Inkscape Trunk and enabled "Use legacy Gradient Editor" in interface preferences. Yet nothing appears as I double-click on gradient stops. Is it broken or is there another way to access it?

Your feature request is ambiguous (or not requesting the same what you had been asking for here): ⋅  flip ≠ rotate by 90° e.g. for slanted guides, and for vertical / horizontal guides it is a no-op. What do you really want to do: rotate a guide by 90° relative to the current slant (angle)...

None of the workarounds are as fast as keyboard shortcut would be and so I submitted feature request "Allow flipping of guides with V and H keys"

If you have launchpad account then please click on "This bug affects x people. Does this bug affect you?". I know you want to.

Is there a shortcut to rotate guides 90 degrees?

What I want to achieve: 1 create group 2 rename it to "circles" with keyboard shortcut What I get: 2 open "xml editor" (don't know if there is a keyboard shortcut) 3 find created group "g2995" 4 rename it to "circles" 5 Ctrl-Enter 6 close "xml editor"...

Yes, aligning text. But not in relation to objects, but pixels. How do I snap fonts to grid?

Snap to grid'ing geometrical shapes is easy, but what about fonts?
How do I achieve the sharpest looking fonts?
Should I use text baseline to grid intersection?
Or for fonts snap to grid doesn't matter at all?

alt+mousewheel up scrolls the page up, down scrolls down. Same with super+alt+wheel

Ok, shift+s allows the rotation. Thanks.

By they way alt + left mouse click is not universal shortcut, for Linux you need to also press windows key which is sometimes called "super" key.

... so that I can rotate it?

What I usually do is click between the end node and the one next to it, to select them both, then use Shift + click on the node next to the one I need, leaving only the node on the bottom selected. One of those obvious things I never think of by myself. I was not aware of reverse selection with shi...

To select the node below I learned to use TAB key, but I wonder if there is a better way to do it? Something more easier for then you break the path and want to move the node below without moving the node above it?

... snapping will only occur when you're within the maximum snap distance, but this is measured in screen pixels ... Oh, I see. That explains a lot. I thought that snap distance in document properties is for document pixels, because it's called "document properties". I've set it back to 2...

This tutorial: http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/draw-a-first-aid-kit-in-inkscape made me think if there are other ways to achieve a roundedness of the three dimensional corner, because no matter how hard I try I can't do it if cube's sides are 100% black, 100% white and 50% gray. Maybe it ca...

Yes, indeed I already found the answer to both of them a few hours ago.

should have done google search explicitly on this site alone "circle site:http://www.inkscapeforum.com/"

Hello, I want to draw a hollow circle, and my google-fu is strangely insufficient for this task.

I want circle to be 64pixels in diameter (which I can do), the line color has to be white.
I also need understand how to adjust the width of the line and its transparency.
