Suggestion: Perspective crop tool

a simple perspective crop tool should be implemented in Affinity apps

It's actually there since v1: Layer > New Filter Layer > Distort > Perspective
Alright, strictly speaking it's not "simple" because as a second step you'll still have to press the key "C" to enable the Crop tool and crop. 
But it's non-destructive.

The key part of the workflow is that first you set the Perspective mode to Source, i.e. you apply it to the image part that you want to correct, then you switch the mode to Destination and make it rectangular.

To crop it precisely then, you may want to make a rectangular marquee selection first and enable Snap to pixel selection bounds. The Crop tool will snap to it.

This whole workflow can be just a matter of seconds if it doesn't have to be totally pixel precise.
