I think this tool actually has quite a lot of potential! Even though I definitely think you shouldn't use the Ctrl key for it, since the stretch tool seems a lot more useful still, I can definitely see this being used within animation, as it not only eliminates the hassle of having to draw curved lines (assuming you'll add the same system within the stick figure creator), it also allows animators to make use of the more animation techniques that could improve the quality of animation.
This could be use for animating rope, which I have discovered can be quite bothersome to do in Pivot, or other bendable objects in general (floppy dicks are a popular theme within our civilized DarkDemon community). Maybe this could even lead to the possibility of animating liquid on a whole new level.
I have to say, on first sight it seemed kind of useless, but the more thought I put into it, the more I started to like this concept and I definitely think it would be a great addition to the possible Pivot 5.
Also, if you need me to do the Dutch translation for this version too, just hit me up and I'd be more than happy to do it.
Edit: On the snapping issue, wouldn't it be a possibility that we would able to return a limb or stick of whatever to go back to it's original state by the use of something manual, like a right mouse-click or something?
