[hauptmech <hauptmech@xxxxxxxxx>]

The following are some hotkeys I have on my personal todo list to add.
The first two were patched into kicad a couple years ago and gave me a
nice boost in productivity but seem to have bitrotted away in the
meantime. I'm not sure yet how far I'll get but welcome any feedback.

Tool finish:  An 'ok'/ENTER action. Select the no (pointer) tool. If the
tool is active, finalize the action (end track, close outline, etc).

Toggle last tool: Dual of above and mapped to same key. When no tool is
active, select the last tool that was being used.

Cancel: The escape key is not always the best... allow remapping.

Tool retreat: A backup action. Delete last segment, delete last corner,
delete last line segment.

Grid toggle: Keep a grid history of 1, toggle to the last used grid.
Primarily for flipping between a coarse and fine grid.

Technology toggle: For flipping between often used track/via settings.
Either toggle last used or toggle through net classes; not sure...

Middle mouse button & drag: I'd like to use middle drag as pan instead
of center to start with. Meta+mouse wheel could probably be used for
better purposes as well.


Those are the main things on my short list. Comments?
