Prevent Kicad losing recently used symbol,

[almahdi]

This Kicad keep losing recently used symbol, so how to have kicad always keep recently used symbol especially at next launching after exit

[jmk]

What type of symbol: from a Kicd library, an imported symbol, a personally made or modified symbol?

What Kicad are you using?
What is your OS?

I think the OP talks about the -- Recently Used -- section in the Choose Symbol Dialog of the Schematic Editor.

As far as I know there is currently no way of remembering the previous used symbols for kKcad after closing the Editor.

Create a library for the project and save it there ?

I don’t use the – Recently Used – part of adding schematic symbols at all myself. I find the search function for schematic symbols quite good, it can find things based on multiple (partial) keywords.

Another function I use often is to just hover over a symbol already on the schematic and press [Ctrl + d] to duplicate it.

See Quick access for adding commonly used symbols or components to schematic (#6028) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab.

I also miss that function. See:

[RFC] eeschema: add ‘Already placed’ category when choosing symbol (!729) · Merge requests · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab

I had reacted with thumb up but didn’t remember that at all.
