One common difficulty with using screenspace text gadgets for complex or layered UI is actually being able to grab a textbox element or its handles with the imp, especially when it's very small. If the textbox tweak menu had an input for the X and Y location of the Anchor Point (when in screenspace mode), we could manually set this without needing to use the cursor, or battling with grid alignment in grid mode or precision mode.
Other advantages to this would be:
- bulk-select tweaking multiple gadgets and adjusting/aligning their location
- keyframing a change in position precisely
- wiring sliders or variables into this port to provide elegant dev or player control of text gadget locations.
I'm *assuming* this information is already stored in the gadget (and keyframes of the gadget) so hopefully it's easyish to expose to us. It would go nicely with the Sort Order, which is a pseudo Z-position.
