Moving locked items

[Leandro Heck]

I am selecting parts on an area to move them. This area has some locked items on it. When I hit M, to move them the following popup appears:

    "Selection contains locked items. Do you want to continue?"
    Yes | No

If I click Yes I will move locked Items, which is Ok.
But If I click No, it should move only the non-locked parts.
I guess this can be improved like:

    "Selection contains locked items. Do you want to move them too?"
    Yes | No

The user can always hit Esc to cancel the move command. We don't need a popup for that.

However, I think the user should move only non-locked parts by default. This will avoid the annoying popup on the move command.

So, to keep the flexibility, I think a different shortcut may be used for moving locked parts.

My suggestion would be:
- M for moving normal (free parts only)
- Ctrl-M (Ctrl, Shift or Alt) to move parts ignoring the lock footprint flag.

Right now using.

In 5.1 Move will only move non-locked parts. If you want to move locked parts, unlock them first. (Multiple atomic commands make for a smaller and easier to understand GUI.)

@Jeff, 5.1.4,

select a bunch of locked tracks segment, and M will move them, no warning.
Or simply point a locked segment with the mouse ans press M.

Moving track segments is the router rather than the editor, so this will be different code that needs fixing.
