Comment 6 for bug 1490958

Thanks again Orson! I've read the description of the logic behind behavior of the tool. I don't think it is a good idea to draw analogies and apply tool behaviors across unrelated packages like that. In my opinion, it is more important to be consistent with the default mode (unless it is something really cocky) than say mimic behavior of Corel or Gimp. The goals and methodologies of a CAD program and a graphics package are just too different. It is kind of like in a real life: if you draw something on a real piece of paper with a real pen and you need to erase something you go and get an erase and then erase it. When you solder wires and you need to change something you use the same tool. Kind of lame analogy but it shows the principle.

I think it is more correct to compare board layout to a text editor or an mechanical CAD programm (Solidworks, ProE etc.) , rather than to a graphics design package. Imagine if you had to switch from a "typing tool" to "erasing tool" in MS Word every time you had to type or erase something.

One more thing - even in Corel and Gimp your undo and redo functions work for any tool being used.
