["Thor-Arne" <lp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It should be listed on the hot-key list.
Perhaps some other key is used.

I didn't know about this behavior. On the Mac, there is no backspace key.

  This delete-wire behavior has been available in KiCad for as long as I've been using it, which is some time before the 2013-stable release.

  Delete wire is on the delete button. and delete segment is on the backspace key.

  Please do NOT change the behavior of the delete buton, it is used all the time.

  I like the behavior of this patch, it seems a lot closer to how I'd expect
  deleting wires to work. :)

    Good point.

    The last batch has two goals:

    1. fix a long-standing annoyance that deleting a line segment will
    delete the entire length of wire, even when I want to delete only a
    short piece. http://psi5.com/~geier/wires.ogv shows what I mean.

    2. prepare for net ties -- these need to split nets, so having code in
    place to split wires at certain points will have nice synergy effects.

    For the most part, I've been posting these as a heads-up and RFC; if the
    benefit is obvious, it's fine to apply them, but I'm not unhappy if they
    aren't applied immediately, because I'm more interested in things that
    are obviously wrong or that I've overlooked, and my patch stack is
    rebased on top of the current state every time I update anyway.

    "Serious" patch submissions start with a [PATCH 00/nn] mail that doesn't
    contain a patch and explains the rationale fully, and have longer
    descriptions in each separate patch (and incidentally, it'd be nice to
    keep those somehow).

       Simon
