Hi Orson,

Ya sorry I (was mistake, I) mean:

Default mode: if you press D it will immediately start Drag Keep slope.
OpenGL GAL: pressing D or G does nothing, is is very difficult to start drag a track.  I was just testing right now, and I cannot find a pattern sequence to start draging. .usually I do it randomly until I can get it work.
also, in the test I was doing now trying to start dragging, I manage to crash pcbnew, pressing several times X, G, Esc etc.

Regards,
Mario Luzeiro

Hi Mario,

I am finishing the last bits for context menu refactoring and the next
thing to code is hot key coherency between the legacy and GAL renderers.

Would you elaborate on the 'X' hot key? 'X' activates the Push and Shove
router in the GAL canvas as well, so is it about clicking to start a
track instead of starting immediately after the hotkey is pressed?

Orson
