Hi all,
I'm testing kicad in the moment and I experienced an unconvenience in
usability, which could be easily fixed ...
It's about the 't' hotkey in pcbnew. After pressing, a popup shows up
and I can input the name of my part which I want to move.
Normally, I have my area in which I want to place my parts and after
pressing 't' and enter my part, I would have expected, that the view
remains, but the part e.g. R12 is hanging on my mouse cursor. But
instead, the view jumps to the coordinates of my part which I wanted to
move.
Because I don't know where this part was, I always have to search the
area, I wanted to place the part in.
So, I suggest a change as following:
pcbnew/modules.cpp in method StartMove_Module: disabling
"GetScreen()->m_Curseur = module->m_Pos;".
I tried the search-part function, which still works as supposed. I know,
that there it is intended to change the view.
Adding parts to the pcb also works ...
How do you think about this little change?
Best regards,
skymab
