[Feature request]: Lock aspect ratio when resizing object
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
The requested request is platform independent, but I searched for it only on a smartphone
Describe your feature request!
When selecting an object, there should be an option to lock the aspect ratio when resizing. At the moment this is not the case, and resizing can easily result with deformed objects.

You can need to click again on your selection and the handles gets a different color. Now you can resize without changing the aspect ratio
Hmmm... I did not know that (still have to read the docks). Maybe it would be valuable to add a lock icon?
I think it isn't mentioned anywhere in the docs. It would be nice if you could contribute it. Where would you like to have the lock icon? I don't see where I could add it
Above the top right corner maybe? Or maybe next to the circle in the middle of the object?
Top right is a bit random. We already put the rotation circle at the top (see #607 in https://preview.butterfly.linwood.dev). How should this look like? Is there any reference to other apps?
Hmmm... I think it should appear inside the selected frame. It makes more sense to me.
The gimp uses a chain (complete/broken) and inkscape is using a lock symbol (closed/open) for (keeping/not keeping) the aspect ratio:
But there it isn't inside a canvas. I'm currently not sure if this looks good
It is not, that's true. But I still think that there should be some hint about the ability to lock the AR.
