Hi Jon,

I implemented (1), (3) and (4) in 6.0.  It was tweaky enough that I don’t recommend it for 5.0 (but I don’t fee strongly). 

You can see my implementation here:  https://git.launchpad.net/~jeyjey/kicad/commit/?h=6.0&id=7dda85fdae21f162bd7413fdceb16e49698f31bf <https://git.launchpad.net/~jeyjey/kicad/commit/?h=6.0&id=7dda85fdae21f162bd7413fdceb16e49698f31bf>.

Cheers,
Jeff.
