Wayne, Part of why I asked this is because in Eechema the context menu has the wire/bus tools (so you can start drawing a wire/bus) normally, but when you actually right-click on a pin location those tools aren't in the context menu. So it seemed weird to me to want to start drawing everywhere other than where a wire would normally start. Perhaps this is more of a bug with that menu though.
I know right now we have the option to turn off the immediate nature of the hotkey&menus at once (although it doesn't seem to actually have any effect on the hotkeys on the context menu, so I will look into that bug), but would you be open to having the option to turn off the immediate nature of the menus separate from the hotkeys? -Ian On Thu, Oct 3, 2019 at 1:44 AM Wayne Stambaugh <[email protected]> wrote: > Ian, > > Context menus should behave the same as hotkeys at the canvas position > where the context menu was opened (right clicked).
