… and how can you do this in v5 on a Mac? -> I can’t find the “footprint mode” symbol in the menu bar.
Would appreciate if somebody can give me some directions. Thanks.

Edit: just found it in a previous thread https://forum.kicad.info/t/auto-arrange-in-kicad-5/11835

  1. click to switch to “old” graphic mode
  2. Right click and select “unstack” (as I use German language the expression might be not correct)
  3. brings you back to the accelerated graphic mode where you can start/continue with routing
