This tool can be used to rapidly edit curves. The current set of
functionalities for Bezier splines are as follows:
The functionalities are divided into three versions of the operator:
* Left-Click
* Ctrl + Left-Click
* Double Click
All current functionalities and their defaults are as follows:
* Extrude Point: Add a point connected to an existing point.
Enabled for Left-Click.
* Extrude Handle Type: Type of the handles of the extruded points.
Can be either Vector or Auto. Defaults to Vector.
* Delete Point: Delete existing point.
Enabled for Ctrl + Left-Click.
* Insert Point: Insert a point into a curve segment.
Enabled for Ctrl + Left-Click.
* Move Segment: Move curve segment.
Enabled for Left-Click.
* Select Point: Select a single point or handle at a time.
Enabled for Left-Click.
* Move point: Move existing points or handles.
Enabled for Left-Click.
* Close Spline: Close spline by clicking the endpoints consecutively.
Defaults to True.
* Close Spline Method: The condition for Close Spline to activate.
Can be one of None, On Press or On Click.
Defaults to On Click for Left-Click and None for the others.
* None: Functionality is turned off.
* On Press: Activate on mouse down.
This makes it possible to move the handles by dragging immediately
after closing the spline.
* On Click: Activate on mouse release.
This makes it possible to avoid triggering the Close Spline
functionality by dragging afterward.
* Toggle Vector: Toggle handle between Vector and Auto handle types.
Enabled for Double Click on a handle.
* Cycle Handle Type: Cycle between all four handle types.
Enabled for Double Click on the middle point of a Bezier point.
The keybindings for the following functionalities can be adjusted from
the modal keymap
* Free-Align Toggle: Toggle between Free and Align handle types.
Defaults to Left Shift. Activated on hold.
* Move Adjacent Handle: Move the closer handle of the adjacent vertex.
Defaults to Left Ctrl. Activated on hold.
* Move Entire: Move the entire point by moving by grabbing on the handle
Defaults to Spacebar. Activated on hold.
* Link Handles: Mirror the movement of one handle onto the other.
Defaults to Right Ctrl. Activated on press.
* Lock Handle Angle: Move the handle along its current angle.
Defaults to Left Alt. Activated on hold.
All the above functionalities, except for Move Segment and
those that work with handles, work similarly in the case of Poly
and NURBS splines.

This commit makes the dot grid used as background in the node editor
more visually stable when zooming in and out.
The dot grid now uses a continuously subdividing pattern, where
each level of subdivision divides the previous five times, similar to
the line grid in the 3D viewport.
The maximum for the "Grid Levels" theme setting is changed to 3, since
any further subdivisions are too small to be visible.
The "Grid Levels" value for the default themes "Blender Dark" and
"Blender Light" is therefore changed to 3, as well.

While it's useful for click-drag to leave the selection as-is
(when clicking on items that are already selected), it's useful
for a single click to de-select all other elements.
This also removes the need for the initial selection to set the object
as active since this is possible by clicking on it.
This was already as a preference for the tweak tool,
this preference enables the option for all selection
in the 3D view & UV editor.
This extends on changes from T96544.
- Follow the same conventions as the 3D viewport for UV selection
(using SelectPick_Params internally).
- Use WM_operator_properties_mouse_select for selection properties.
Support for differentiating the tweak tool from the 3D cursor when
select is set to RMB.
This is currently an experimental preference:
Tweak Tool: Left Mouse Select & Drag
When enabled the tweak tool can now tweak the existing selection
without de-selecting first, a single click can be used to replace
the selection.
This matches selection in the graph & node editors.
This preferences is only available with "Developer Extras" enabled.
Ref T96544.
`3DView`'s `use_snap` option has little or nothing to do with using
snapping in `UV`, `Nodes` or `Sequencer`.
So there are no real advantages to keeping these options in sync.
Therefore, individualize the option to use snap for each "spacetype".

Using press to activate the Tweak tool doesn't work well when used a
fallback tool as the drag event is often used by the current tool -
making it impossible not to select when dragging (unless the fallback
tool is disabled entirely).
Resolve this by using CLICK events when the Tweak tool is used as a
fallback.
Even though this avoids the crash, check for null-pointer de-reference
since changes to the key-map shouldn't cause operators to crash.
Note that the ability for operators to access a gizmo before it's fully
initialized is a more general problem that should be addressed, but out
of scope for a bug-fix.

This patch adds edge selection support for UV editing (refer T76545).
Developed as a part of GSoC 2021 project - UV Editor Improvements.
Previously, selections in the UV editor always flushed down to vertices
and this caused multiple issues such as T76343, T78757 and T26676.
This patch fixes that by adding edge selection support for all UV
operators and adding support for flushing selections between vertices
and edges. Updating UV select modes is now done using a separate
operator, which also handles select mode flushing and undo for UV
select modes. Drawing edges (in UV edge mode) is also updated to match
the edit-mesh display in the 3D viewport.
Notes on technical changes made with this patch:
* MLOOPUV_EDGESEL flag is restored (was removed in rB9fa29fe7652a).
* Support for flushing selection between vertices and edges.
* Restored the BMLoopUV.select_edge boolean in the Python API.
* New operator to update UV select modes and flushing.
* UV select mode is now part of editmesh undo.
TODOs added with this patch:
* Edge support for shortest path operator (currently uses vertex path logic).
* Change default theme color instead of reducing contrast with edge-select.
* Proper UV element selections for Reveal Hidden operator.

Supporting two kinds of dragging is redundant, remove tweak events as
they only supported 3 mouse buttons and added complexity from using the
'value' to store directions.
Support only click-drag events (KM_CLICK_DRAG) which can be used with
any keyboard or mouse button.
Details:
- A "direction" member has been added to keymap items and events which
can be used when the event value is set to KM_CLICK_DRAG.
- Keymap items are version patched.
- Loading older key-maps are also updated.
- Currently the key-maps stored in ./release/scripts/presets/keyconfig/
still reference tweak events & need updating. For now they are updated
on load.
Note that in general this wont impact add-ons as modal operators don't
receive tweak events.

When RMB-select uses "Select Tweak" as a fallback tool,
ignore all bindings mapped to the Control key as these are
used for path selection.
This was fixed in 2a2d873124
however that caused shift-select to fail (T93100).
This adds the boilerplate code that is necessary to use the tool/brush/paint
systems in the new sculpt curves mode.
Two temporary dummy tools are part of this patch. They do nothing and
only serve to test the boilerplate. When the first actual tool is added,
those dummy tools will be removed.

In rBdcdbaf89bd11, I introduced a new operator
(`file.asset_library_refresh()`) to handle Asset Browser refreshing more
separate from File Browser refreshing. However, there already was
`asset.asset_list_refresh()`, which at this point only works for asset
view templates, but was intended to cover the Asset Browser case in
future too. This would happen once the Asset Browser uses the asset list
design of the asset view template.
So rather than having two operators for refreshing asset library data,
have one that just handles both cases, until they converge into one.
This avoids changes to the Python API in future (deprecating/changing
operators).

This patch implements part of what was stated in {T66484}, with respect to `Base Point`.
## Introduction
The snapping feature of the transform tools has a variety of applications:
- Organization of nodes.
- Positioning of frames in precise time units.
- Retopology with snap to face
- Creation of armatures with bone positioning through the snap to volume
- Precise positioning of 3D or 2D objects in the surrounding geometry (CAD modeling)
The goal of this document is to make it more powerful for precision modeling and still supporting the old use cases without extra complexity.
The main topic addressed here is the introduction of a **interactive mode for setting a snap source** (See terminology).
## Terminology
* **Snap Source**: 3d coordinate * we want to snap from. (Currently defined by the `Snap With` options: `Closest`, `Center`, `Median` and `Active`).
* **Snap Target**: 3d coordinate* we want to snap to. (Vertices, Edges, Faces, Grid...)
## Interactive Mode for Editing a Snap Source
Currently the fixed snap point can only be obtained through the `Snap With` options. So it's a little tricky for the user to define a snap source point having so much geometry on an object.
Because of this, the user needs to resort to impractical solutions to get a point in the geometry.
See example of an impractical use:
{F11714181, layout=left, width=960, alt="The user used the cursor (which can be snapped) to choose the snap origin point."}
The user used the cursor (which can be snapped) to choose the snap source point.
While it is possible to work around this current limitation, it is important to reduce the number of steps and allow the user to set a snap source point through an optional interactive mode during a transformation.
The proposed solution is to be able to move the current snap source point through a modal modifier activated with a key (eg. B).
The snap source point can thus "snap" to the elements in the scene (vertex, mid-edge, Lamp, …) during this mode.
{F9122814, layout=left, width=960, alt="Base Point Snap, example of transform operation via the shortcut (not the tool). After pressing g and the snap base change shortcut (e.g., shift + ctrl) the user set the base point. The base point is then visible until the end of the operation. The z axis constrains the final position."}
## Implementation Details
- The feature will only be available in 3D View.
- The feature will only be available for `Move`, `Rotate` and `Scale` transform modes.
- The snap source editing will be enabled with a single click on the modifier key (B).
- Having a snap point indicated, the new snap origin point will be confirmed with the same buttons that confirms the transformation (but the transformation will not be concluded).
- The snap source editing can be canceled with the same key that activated it (B).
- If the transformation is done with "release_confirm" (common for gizmos), the new feature cannot be enabled.
- During the transformation, when enabling the feature, if the snap option is turned off in the scene, the snap will be forced on throughout the rest of the transformation (unless interactive mode is canceled).
- During a transformation, if no snap target is set for an element in the scene (Vertex, Grid...), the snap targets to geometry Vertex, Edge, Face, Center of Edge and Perpendicular of Edge will be set automatically.
- Snap cannot be turned off during the snap source editing.
- Constraint or similar modification features will not be available during the snap source editing.
- Text input will not be available during the snap source editing.
- When adding multiple snap points (A) the new prone snap source point will be indicated with an "X" drawing.

#### Motivation
The View pie menu is a convenient way to access operators such as `Frame Selected` and `Frame All` which are usually mapped to `PERIOD` or `HOME` keys on the right side of most keyboard, making it hard hard to reach with the left hand.
The motivation for this patch comes from working with a 75% keyboard (no numpad). Most laptops face a similar problem.
#### Implementation
The View pie menu has been added to the following editors and sub-modes where applicable:
* Node Editor
* Video Sequencer
* Dopesheet
* Graph
* NLA
* Image
* Clip
* Outliner
More options could definitely be added to this menu for convenience, as long as it maintains the common options in the same place (Frame Selected on the left, Frame All on the right).
For positioning I went with the following layout:
{F11791186, size=full}
I've added `Zoom 1:1`to the Image Editor and the VSE Preview since there is no way to reset the zoom on keyboards without numpad (unless Emulate Numpad is turned on).
The Outliner uses `Show Active` and `Show Hierarchy` which are the closest ones to the equivalent in other editors. Should `Show Active` be renamed to `Frame Selected`?
The shortcut assigned is the same as the 3D Viewport (`ACCENT_GRAVE`).

The name and tooltip were talking about file-lists, which exposes the
fact that the Asset Browser uses the File Browser code in the UI, which
we shouldn't do. This can confuse users.

name and tooltip.
