[implemented] [Sketcher] add feature to restrict direction when copying

[uwestoehr]

Hi Abdullah,
a few days ago you kindly added the feature for https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Sketcher_RectangularArray that one can press SHIFT to restrict the direction to steps of 10°.

This is super useful and I would like to have this also for
https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Sketcher_Copy
Is this possible?

Good idea -- though I think I'd prefer steps of 45° for this use, or potentially even just restrict to purely horizontal or vertical motion. The image manipulation programs I use work like that.

I recently needed 30° (180 / 6). With steps of 15° one can get 30° as well as 45° and thus please everybody.

Purely horizontal or vertical is for sure the main use case, but there are often also other uses cases.

CTRL, 5 degrees (it is still large enough for a good snap, it is still good for 45 degrees, 10, 15, 30, 20 and 40 degrees).

I modified the Array one too for coherence.

This could be an alternative for the rectangular array as it already has a dialog. For the simple copy there is no dialog. It is intended to be "quick" "ctrl+c ctrl+v" alike.

+1 too, very useful, IMHO.

I tried in the daily this new feature using CTRL to copy/array but only by 10°, so cannot be done 45° easily.
