switch track posture improvent

[szymon]

There should be some additional options for swithich track posture like:
1. configurable default option (with option to keep last used)
2. mouse "shortcut" to switch track posture, I have to suggestion how it may be implemented:
a) like in old protel (I do not know if new versions also use this), clicking left mouse button on the last pad or junction or bend
b) maybe middle mouse button click or double click.

There is already an hot key ("/") to do that. Is is not enough ?

These just were sugestion for improvement, hotkey is usefull most time, but it would be nice to have other options. IMHO hotkey "/" should be set to different key, because it is hard to find without looking at the keyboard. This could be only my feeling, maybe because key "/" on most keyboard is located at the right side of keyboard. I am righthanded so I need to take hand from a mouse to use this key, I am not used to use left hand on right side of keyboard.

Maybe I will describe sugestions them more precisly.
1. I need to paint bunch of tracks, like a bus, 8 tracks from one IC to another IC. I would like to make them looking "nice" so I bend 8 tracks similar way. I will try to use geographic symbols to show directons. So I am starting on track 1, lets say West, than I want to bend track to South-West (at this specific point I need to change track posture). Then I am trying to paint track 2, and again at the bend I need to change track posture, and for tracks 2-8 also I need to change posture.

2. mouse "shortcut". Since hotkey "/" is hard to reach by left hand and right hand is still on the mouse, it would be nice to change track posture with mouse (button or gesture).

I was thinking closing this because it is possible to change the hotkey via the hotkey editor, but I won't because the hotkey editor does not support extra mouse keys. Maybe this should be a new wishlist specifically addressing the hotkey editor to act on special mouse keys.

After so much of grace time I think it is time to wont fix this. About your point 1 mentioned in #2, the new PNS router sort of takes care of this.
