PCB doesn't really have a footprint editing mode. It can load
footprints so you can view them, but that's about it. When I edit
footprints, I usually have a *.pcb file with that footprint in it, make
the changes there, and re-extract the footprint to a file. Or I just
edit the file in a text editor.
For comments, you can do this:
# This is a comment
However, those are not preserved when the footprint is loaded into pcb.
You can add attributes to a footprint like this:
Element[...]
(
Attribute("...name..." "...value...")
)
Those *are* preserved, and can be both documentary (like the author's
email) or programatic (like filenames for 3-D models, if you had a 3-D
plugin).
