Hi, I think the reason of proposed change will cause the following: 1) "Place" menu will look good. 2) behaviour of the hotkeys will be what most people expect (place a wire: hotkey ctrl-W + click + double click). 3) current users will stay happy because the current behaviour (place a wire: hotkey W + double click) is maintained.
The Key L seems the only key which will suffer a change of some sort. Is the proposed change difficult to implement? fabrizio On Mon, Sep 5, 2011 at 11:03 AM, jp.charras <[email protected]> wrote: > Le 05/09/2011 10:01, fabrizio a écrit : >> >> Wayne, >> thanks for your e-mail.
