    I think "Transform" should be renamed to "Move" or "Translate". It does a translation and not a transformation after all. It seems like a 'translation'-mistake ;-) and it is very confusing for new users.

    If you want to keep the shortcut logical you could consider choosing the term translation, which is correct, but a bit mathematical.

    To be pedantic, a translation is a limited type of transform, but it only allows for positional movement (i.e. x,y,z). As capture's transform tool allows rotation, it can't be defined by just a translation.
