Re: [Kicad-developers] eeSchema sporadically switches to "User Grid"
I found it in Common and reassigned it to ctl-F12 so I won't use it by accident. I can't see how to clear or disable a hotkey. I think this should be a separate function under eeSchema: changing grids, especially to a wonky user grid just causes problems.

I would want to disable that function as switching grids in eeSchema is just a way of creating problems.

Re: [Kicad-developers] eeSchema sporadically switches to "User Grid"
Perhaps it is, however, entering "Grid" in the hotkey search box does not yield Next Grid so there is no way for a user to know that 'N' means next grid, let alone to disable it. I would want to disable that function as switching grids in eeSchema is just a way of creating problems.
