Hello! I like the functionality a lot! Selection is probably the one thing that is used most of all functions in kicad, so I clearly like that it can be done in multiple ways! I do however wonder how one would find and discover this functionality? - Kristoffer On 05/02/2017 09:25 AM, Oliver

Hey! I made the copy/paste/cut functionality work as someone new to the software might expect. That is, the cut command now actually puts the block in clipboard and then deletes the block, compared to just deleting it (wtf)? They are also bound to the almost universal defaults of ctrl+c/v/x.
