The other multi-word tags in the components are "pcb-calculator" and "3d-viewer" (and we also have "feature-request"). I was using a hyphen because using the longer words "symboleditor" didn't look as good as saying "symbol-editor." I did the hyphen on the fp-editor one for symmetry.
I will use "fp-editor" and "symbol-editor" as the new tags. -Ian On Wed, Nov 27, 2019 at 1:51 PM Nick Østergaard <oe.n...@gmail.com> wrote: > Would it be to controversial to just call it fpedit and symedit?
