Garbage tracks on PCB

Feature request List with Various Items

After some months of diary use of kicad i collect some items to improve Kicad. I suspect that is easy say not to all, but at least i will share my experience. 1)Search footprint: When you place a component when you press “R”, the placement tool search automatically inside all libraries and show all “R” materials. But this is not possible on footprint. If i press “0805” the system only search inside the selected library. Will be appreciated that if i write “sot23”, the system adjust the search …

PCB Allways whe routing the system try to reach the center of the pad even creating 0.00001mm tracks, that after move the components remains as garbage giving ERROR on DRC. Maybe this tracks need to be marked as “autogenerated” and autoerase when is not needed anymore.

Thanks to all

Thanks, Please note that in the spanish translation said: Optimize and not Cleanup.
The actual text is: Optimizar pistas y vías.
Maybe a best translation is: Limpiar pistas y vías.

Again, thanks you

You Spanish speakers are too ambitious.
