Improve Crop tool efficiency and shortcuts.

The Capture One crop tool is slow and inefficient. Especially an issue because it is one of the most used tools (and constantly frustrating). Improving the efficiency of the crop tool would greatly improve Capture One as a whole.

Use case example 1:

Image is uncropped, I want to crop from a 2:3 ratio to unconstrained.

Steps required:

1. Press C for crop

2. Right click image to reveal crop options.

3. Click ratio button dropdown

4 Click unconstrained.

5. Move crop.

The steps in Lightroom by comparison:

1. Press R for crop

2. Press A for aspect

3. Move crop.

These two buttons (R & A) can be pressed almost instantly, while Capture One takes quite a bit of fiddling with the mouse. When this becomes repetitive it is a big time waster.

Request 1: Make a shortcut button available to change aspect ratio to unconstrained.

Use case example 2:

I want to change the aspect ratio from 2:3 to 2:1.

1. Press C for crop

2. Right click image to reveal crop options.

3. Click ratio button dropdown

4. Select desired ratio.

Request 2. Capture One should provide a way to remove step 3, possibly also step 2. Perhaps by having the crop ratio's pop up as a list (not a drop down) somewhere in the menu or whatever works efficiently.

Request 3. Provide an easy/quick way to swap between vertical and horizontal ratio, like the command X does in Lightroom. Capture One is very awkward.

Request 4. Crop tool feature allows change of rotation and crop which is good. However the crop tool reset arrow only resets the crop. Please add a reset arrow which can also reset the rotation.
