Hello, I would like to suggest a feature for pcbnew:  highlighting pads
of modules with the specific value ( while other pads are grayed out ).
For example, it might be useful when doing manual soldering to quickly
find out where the same elements of board are located.

I have found it's not hard to implement and i've already done with it
(added some code logic and toolbar items). I can send the patch if you
are interested of having this feature in the public release.

Hello Sergey,

please write the Email to the KiCad developer list. They can help youmore than I can.
