I very much like the idea of this patch :) I'll have a go at testing it.

I vaguely recall a similar (or identical?) idea was discussed on the list recently? I was watching some students using gschem the other week, and noticed them struggling to move objects due to the fact they had to select them first. I wrote a patch which lets a drag action operate on whatever is under the mouse (selected or not). The user can override the mechanism and get a "normal" drag-selection box by holding shift when dragging. This also happens if the user drags on a blank area of the schematic. This seems to work here (in conjunction with some other cleanup I pushed to git HEAD). I'd appreciate a second pair of eyes on it though, as I just knocked it together quickly. Fwiw.. dragging of selected locked objects _does not_ work.. (never did as far as my brief skim of the code suggests.). I think we ought to fix that. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: [3]+44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
