## Description

Wplace Locator — designed to make navigating maps faster and more intuitive.

Key features:

One‑click sharing: the plugin uses a four‑coordinate string to compute precise lat/lng, jump to the exact spot, and auto‑fill base coordinates into the painting plugin (Blue Marble / Skirk Marble). You no longer need to enter base coordinates manually.

Click‑to‑zoom: no need to reach a specific zoom level before interacting with pixels — simply click the map to instantly zoom to a clickable level.

Keyboard zoom controls: zoom in (press E) and zoom out (press Q), removing dependency on the mouse wheel.

Built‑in ruler: quickly measure map distances and areas (unit: pixels).

Favorites manager: save and switch between drawing positions with one click for faster workflows.

Toggle page theme: between Halloween and default themes.
