I’m making a footprint for a 2.4GHz antenna. I haven’t used KiCad for PCB design before so it’s all new to me. Do I need to somehow add keepout in the module editor or should I do it in pcbnew?

As of now, you can’t add keepouts (that work) in the module editor.
OK, thanks. I just drew a soldermask box around the keepout area in the module editor and I’ll add the keepout in pcbnew.
A “newbee” suggestion (keep in mind I probably don’t know what I am talking about): what if you drew a ground track around your footprint (on all the copper layers) in the module, could it be used as an effective keepout?
