Oh, apologies, I think he is referring to the stuff which lives in

I like that set of options. It fits in to my plan of absorbing as much as
possible from the left toolbar into the layer widget as part of my overhaul
of that part of the UI.
I also think it would be totally fine to have it *only* in the layer

Hi Devs-
Currently, we have no fewer than 4 (four!) locations where the ratsnest
display option can be toggled. (left toolbar, view menu, preferences
and layers widget)
I'd like to drop that number down to 1-2. Right now, fiddling with the
ratsnest is, well, a ratsnest of code. Reducing
Environment variables are tricky for users to set for graphical apps
in macOS, unfortunately.
I wonder if we can think through this and find something that is
unequivocably better than what we have today without requiring us to
invent a bunch of new things.
I know I get scared every release that

On that note though, being able to have those environmental variables be
updated depending on the KiCad version would also be a nice to have, since

It looks like you mis-cited me there. That was Wayne that wrote that,
I don't klnow about the details here.

What do folks think about changing the data directory for macOS to

Yes. Should be done now.

Thanks Jon! This is a great example. This is pretty much what I was
angling for in suggesting a separate preference pane.
I don't think that this is overkill. It keeps things clearly
disambiguated and gives a nice location to add additional potential
mouse actions. It also prevents users
I like this option. Any solution should not change the default
behavior. Although I seriously doubt "everyone can be happy" will ever
happen, this is the most flexible and complete solution.

If we’re going to allow editing of zoom, etc., then yes we’ll need a more
expressive GUI than just the “type a new key” editor we have now.
But that would all be in Preferences. Note that what I’m doing now is just for
List HotKeys, not Edit HotKeys.

Hi Seth,
I’m not sure how that helps. Would you try to list all the contexts in that
panel or something?
(I’ve so far been thinking that since they’re just hints, we can ignore the
context.)

In my opinion, it would be more powerful to break out the individual
settings rather than keep around "touchpad pan mode", so that everyone can
be happy. I think this is the only solution when there are so many
different ways people could be used to coming from different applications.

Zooming with no modifier seems to be the more popular choice in the
creative and CAD applications I have come across (and is certainly my
preference, because I use middle-drag to pan). Maybe someone needs to do
the legwork to see which actually is the most common re. left-right vs.
up-down.

Hi Nick,
My build (wx 3.1.1) under MSYS has stack traces. Which version of

Hi Seppe-
I gave it a quick run and looks good. I pushed your patch with the
addition of @KICAD_VERSION_FULL@ to the CFBundleVersion extended version
string.
Thank you for your contribution to KiCad!
