This tool allows you to apply moving, rotating, shearing, perspective and scaling corrections using handles placed on canvas.

Original image: a text layer

You can use 1 to 4 handles, and the effect depends on the number of handles. The tool acts on a selection, or, if there is no selection, on the whole layer. The active handle is bigger than the others. When the mouse pointer is on a handle, it goes with a small icon that represents the active action.

When you click and drag a handle, a transformation is applied, and the other handles stay at their place:
