This is often done in applications with dedicated buttons (x-button,
y-button) to restrict/allow modification only in this direction or
even more often with a selection bracket (surrounding rectangle with a
total of 8 squares to grab and drag at corners and in the middle of
the selection bracket's sides).

IMHO those 2 solutions are both user friendly (the bracket-one maybe
more, you find it in many applications and it could also be used to
rotate if you drag slightly outside the corners. Usually [shift] is
used to maintain proportions).
