Wish : Footprint Editor - Insert FP into current board at visible coordinates for the user

[Laurent Haas]

In the Footprint Editor, when using the "Insert FP into the current board" tool ("Plus" sign icon in the top toolbar), the FP is always inserted at coordinates (0, 0). Most of the time, these coordinates are not directly visible when you're working on a board layout, and you can think the action failed.

Wish : Insert the FP at coordinates directly visible by the user. Or center the view on the newly inserted footprint.
