Hi Simon,

Again, it's a good job for the scripting engine. Input an expression 
(for example type == component && value == "10k"), evaluate it for all 
BOARD_ITEMs and highlight matching ones. This is the way A****m folks 
did it and it works perfectly there.

@Lorenzo: You will probably need adding a per-item HIGHLIGTHED flag (no 
globals, please).

PS. You might be interested in assembly drawing generator (see PDF). A 
long time a go I wrote a script that produces such PDFs from Gerber & 
pick&place CSV files. Same thing could be done directly in Kicad 
(perhaps as a Python plugin). I'll clean up the script and put it on 
ohwr/github if I find some time.
