Bug Description

This is a wishlist report.

It is tedious to place multiple labels in Eeschema to nets (e.g. TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK). Therefore I ask you to implement the following feature: If the label edit line in the Label Properties dialog contains spaces, then place one label for each such word, one after another.

Example: Press [L] to add labels, the "Label Properties" dialog pops up. Then enter the string "TDI TDO TMS TCK" (without the quotes but with the spaces) in the "Text:" edit line. After pressing [Enter] or clicking the [OK] button, the label "TDI" is at the mouse cursors tip. Click on the according net to place this label. Immediately after this, the next word "TDO" is at the mouse cursors tip. Click on the next according net, and so on.

BTW: I found this feature very convenient in Cadence Allegro Design Entry Schematic Capture.

Thanks!

The windows OK button could be reach by <Shift>+<Return> as some softwares does or even the instantaneous messengers.

This hasn't gotten much love in 5 years, so I think we'll retire it for now.

@Jeff- I've been holding off on handling this due to 5.0/5.1 feature freezes and the impending toolset change.
