Jean-Pierre, I think a regression was introduced. I am on Adam’s build of 5871.
‘R’ is the hotkey for rotate in both pcbnew and eeschema. But now it’s acting as View | Redraw in both. I noticed that it wasn’t rotating a symbol but instead the menu briefly highlighted, so I looked further.
Similarly, ’S’ has a conflict between File Save and Set Grid Origin, and ‘F’ has a conflict between Find and Flip.
File Save should be cmd-S and Find should be cmd-F. I will look for other conflicts.
Party on,
