Comment 6 for bug 1522583

Kind of related to this bug. Tildes adding overlines is something that I never liked and it actually bit me when I first started using kicad. Tildes are commonly used to indicate an AC signal. If you put text anywhere that is just a tilde it just vanishes without warning and you have to randomly click around to try and find the text again.

How about adding a flag to text in the new eeschema file format that specifies if text should have an overline? Then it could just be an option in the text dialog which is much more obvious than adding a tilde AND allows people to use tildes in schematics.

Then ERC can go off of the flag and tildes will be treated like regular text.
