Cool! Thanks!
Will you be at FOSDEM? I have a couple of ideas regarding this, that I
would like to discuss.

I am not so sure about the naming and grouping.
It somehow feels off. But I cannot point my finger at what it is.
How about the following (i'm not exactly sure whether it's better)
- General
- Undo and Save
- Auto-save time interval
- Maximum undo items
- Show page limits
- Measurement units
- Editing
- Repeat items
- Horizontal pitch of repeated items
- Vertical pitch of repeated items
- Increment of repeated labels
- Field autoplacement
- Automatically place component fields
- Allow field autoplace to change justification
- Always align autoplaced fields to the 50 mil grid
- Keyboard and Mouse settings
- Center and warp cursor on zoom
- Use middle mouse button to pan
- Limit panning to scroll size
- Pan while moving object
- Text and Line setting
- Grid size
- Bus thickness
- Line thickness
- Part ID notation
- Show grid
- Restrict buses and wires to H and V orientation
- Default field names (I would make this its own tab, as it is now)
I agree with Tomasz that the options should not be removed from the dialog
and have placed them in their appropriate sections.
Actually, I think it's a good idea to have multiple places to change something
(as long as all dialogs are consistent).
