Hi,



I wrote a new method for selecting (marking) part of the trace (segments 
between two vias, junctions, pads) while I was working on a new feature 
"change trace layer". I rewrote also mark trace procedure because of 
duplicated code. I'm not sure if is the good idea to propose to merge this 
change within one big merge request with this new feature. Should I better 
divide this into smaller patches? https://code.launchpad.net/~joelmatejka/

>  now it is only possible to select whole copper connection.





Best Regards

Předmět: [Kicad-developers] To-do before the stable release (wrt GAL)

"Hi,

I have just pushed patches to synchronize hot keys in GAL with the
legacy canvas, so testing would be very welcome.

As a part of the stable release preparations I propose a detailed to-do
list to qualify GAL for the release. If you think I missed something
important here - let me know. Please keep in mind that we are in feature
freeze now, so only features that differ GAL from the legacy canvas have
any chances to be accepted.

- Toggle the active layer with 'V' (or via placement hot key) without
PNS being active.
- Tool to place the origin point for drill and place.
- Keyboard controlled cursor (move the cursor using arrows).
- Select trivial connection (i.e. a segment between two junctions); now
it is only possible to select whole copper connection.
- 'Delete' key should remove trivial connections, not individual segments.
- Some drawing tools require 3-clicks to finish drawing.
- 'Remove corner' for polygons.
- Scrollbars.
- Reorganize shortcuts so they are not dependent on the current tool (at
least basic ones). People complain that they cannot invoke 'Properties'
using 'e' or remove tracks with PNS active.

- Bugs described in the bug tracker, but not all of them [1], as there
are also entries that are not feasible now.

- Last, but not least: documentation for the new tools

Cheers,
Orson
