Patch tool to respect hiding selections

If I've hidden selections, it's because I didn't want to see them. 

The thing about the patch tool is it's really useful to be able to see if what you're doing is actually lining up well. If you're just showing the selection outline for users who somehow forget that they've hidden extras then there are solutions for that also. Maybe just show the information in the options bar like "Selections hidden. Use shortcut Ctrl+h to show." And perfect, you've helped those people without negatively impacting those of us who are aware they've hit ctrl+h in the first place to hide the selection.

The other potential solution I can think of us just an extra checkbox at the top that says "respect hidden selections." Those of us who know what we are doing can turn that on and then forget about it.

While you're adjusting the patch tool, might as well add the ability to rotate the patch. So click and drag near the source, but Shoot, the angle isn't Quite lining up. I suggest, while still clicked, using a keyboard shortcut to nudge rotate the source. I would probably use a couple different keyboard keys, and since it's context based it Shouldn't effect any bindings. Maybe something like left/right arros nudge .5 degrees, up/down arrows nudge 3 degrees. Something like that. This would Really help if you have to make a repair on a contrasting edge that slowly curves. You could make a patch (or clone or heal tool which should also have this) and as you're working, you can keep your mouse where it is and just nudge the rotation a bit.

Those should also be user adjustable settings that show up in the options bar. There is a lot of room up there. I'm all for not making it too visually busy, but you're already wasting space with unneccessary things like selection options that I have never once in my life seen anyone use. If someone knows how to use an intersecting selection they know the keyboard shortcut. Remove those from the options bar and add them to a new window as an accessibility feature. The buttons makes sense for those with less motor function, but for most anyone else, it just adds visual noise.
