Re: [RFC PATCH] Single-click board update, take 2.

 

Hi Tomasz

This sounds promising, but I just have a small comment reading this. I
have not yet tested the patces, and I won't have time until... maybe
next week.

But is it your intention to use F9? That is currently assigned to the
switch to legacy canvas in pcbnew.
