Description

We have an option to do it via toolbar icon, but it could also work with manually moving the pivot near the specific transform boundary point/midpoint/corner

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing snapping system in the codebase, particularly for transform handle snapping. Implement autosnapping for manual pivot placement by detecting when the pivot is moved near a selection transform boundary point, midpoint, or corner.
