3d mouse and libspacenav

Software

Hi,

3d mouse are currently not usable on linux. There is an issue about it, which became “accepted”, but that’s it. It’s still tagged as 7.0.

Are there still plans to add this feature, or has it been abandonned ?

Sorry if it is the wrong place for the question.

Neither. Feature requests that are open but unassigned are not abandoned, but also have nobody working on them so there are no “plans” to add the feature.

In order for a feature request like this to get implemented:

  1. Some developer has to volunteer to work on it, or
  2. Some user could sponsor its development by paying KiCad Services to develop it

I recommend upvoting the feature request in GitLab to show support for it (click the :+1: button). Developers who are deciding what to spend their time on usually factor in how popular a request is in addition to whether or not they are personally interested in working on it. Right now that request only has 3 votes, which is relatively low in popularity.

The “7.0” label on the issue means that this issue was first reported in 7.0. It does not mean anything about when an issue might be implemented.
