Hi all,
I have been working on a patch to allow two new behaviours in modedit:
* "Move exactly", which allows you to enter an exact offset when moving
a pad, edge or text. The main use of this for me is to make it easy to
build footprints according to datasheets where the pattern is defined
in relative terms. A new dialogue is introduced, and this allows
either a Cartesian or polar offset, followed by a rotation. A hotkey
is also defined (default Ctrl-M, since "M" is "move").
* "Duplicate", which clones the current item and picks it up, ready to
move. Ctrl-D is the default hotkey here, mirroring Inkscape. This is
mainly intended for use in conjunction with "move exactly", as a
complement to the current "shift-block-select and move with the grid"
method.
