Comment 3 for bug 1546814

I could see how that would be useful for sure, but I think there's an historical issue of UI inconsistincies between eeschema and pcbnew, and those are much more of a pain for the user than one way of working or another.

What I mean is, my problem is with the inconsistency between two parts of the same tool, not the way that either of them works.

I wouldn't mind if both tools were 'hotkey to select tool, click to start using it' or 'mouse over where you want to start using the tool, then press hotkey to start', so long as the tools in layout and capture did the same thing.
