Created attachment 144356 [details] Flip and Rotate in Menubar and Context menu The writer menubar format contain Flip and Rotate entries. The writer context menu combine them to Rotate or Flip. To shrink the format menubar and for better consistently I would recommand to combine them in the menubar also. In addition to that it's not the most common task for writer.
+1 from my side but please more opinions since we shouldn't vandalize the menus.
Created attachment 144452 [details] ToggleObjectRotateMode in contextmenu Also in context menu Rotate or Flip is an big advantage cause you can add there the .uno:ToggleObjectRotateMode functionality
I don't see neither a Flip nor a Rotate context menu entry on shapes. Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 36123b42c5d3084f94d068874a0bac2cc849a66e CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: threaded (Build from 3 days ago.) But I support the synchronization of the identical main menu and context menu entries.
Why not rewording "Flip or Rotate..." to "Transform..." as submenu title? "Flip or Rotate..." would suggest we should also have "Copy, Cut or Paste" as submenu title with a 3 command submenu (with commands "Copy", "Cut" and "Paste") etc.

If flip and rotate go into a combined sub-menu, then 'Vertically' and 'Horizontally' should be renamed to 'Flip vertically' and 'Flip horizontally'. Positive side effect: the commands will be more descriptive in the Customize dialog.

They are combined in Menubar. It is ok. But as a note in the context menu they are separate.

For me in 6.2beta1 Rotate is up in the contex menu, and Flip is down there in the context menu, separate. See the screenshot.
that's true, the flip/rotate stuff is ordinary the last one in the align, ... section like you see in your screenshot. rotate is there cause it's the troggle action. I thought to move mirror to the top group, but in the other context menues it's down and so you have here an separation.
