[Jeff Young <jeff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, but not for 5.0.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1748680 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1748680> (most of the Kicad menu items will be app settings).

But this reminds me that I should probably add a task to tabularize pcbnew’s preferences like we did with eeschema.

Cheers,
Jeff.
