Details on this feature can be found at:
https://phabricator.kde.org/T14166
The page above contains a basic example, and describes the target user group, which workflows are simplified, some interaction details, and a description of what is out of scope.
Since this is an optional feature, this initial version does not try to optimize performance or support all transform preferences: the paste result is always fully composited with the target layer in real time, without a temporary overlay. After completion, the Transform tool stays active.
