@doctormo @cazabon In which case, yes the linked UX issue should cover that. There are now 10 possible origins for an object, 7 from bounding box, 8th the immovable true center, 9th the flexible Center of transformation, and 10th any point on the canvas unrelated to the object. I'm initially inclined to think 8th and 9th should be same but that is a discussion for the UX issue probably. (2/2)
I did not really understand the issue, however aligning objects in Inkscape it is so intuitive (at least I always had this feeling) that I recommend you to try programming graphics with #Metafun

Perhaps this fits better your mindset and expectations... 👍
