Kicad 5 had the nice feature in the schematic editor to allow to copy a selected block directly when you hold shift while you did the selection. You also could delete the block while you hold shift+ctrl during the selection. Finally one was able to also drag the blog with holding ctrl. Now I moved to Kicad 6 and at least this old workflow does not work anymore. is it completely gone and do I have to adjust to ctrl+c, ctrl+v and Del or is it just hidden in some settings I have not found yet?
I’m running Linux Mint, and a well known bug/limitation is that it is very hard to resize windows (Apparently only with some of the themes), and the solution given is to use [Alt + RMB] (Right mouse button). In itself this works beautifully, but it needs two hands which is a significant nuisance.
Every now and then I have an interest in a better input device then a standard mouse, but I refuse to pay EUR60 or more for a mouse that is also just a 50ct piece of plastic and bit of electronics.
One of my possible solutions would be to get a relatively cheap mouse but with decent electronics and then make the rest myself. In the end this mouse would have:
The mouse electronics itself of course.
Built in USB hub.
Microcontroller with macro keyboard functionality.
Maybe extra external USB and uSD connectors.
There are already quite a lot Open Sourced keyboard projects, so putting extra buttons on a mouse and making them work is mostly a mechanical problem.
It’s also a problem of how many of such buttons you can put on a mouse, remember their functions (with reprogramming for different PC programs) and where to put them so you can still use the mouse without pushing buttons automatically.
I’m not paying EUR60 for a mass produced item that costs EUR5 to make, while spending 200 hours making a custom mouse with custom software for my personal needs is a hobby, and different rules apply.
