Hello everyone,
I figured I'd make here a quick list of features that I feel were great in Kicad 4 and missing in Kicad 5 pcbnew:
- "T" shortcut doesn't select components that are on non-displayed layers
- "E" shortcut doesn't allow quick modification of trace width with the currently selected width
- "E" shortcut does bring up a modal showing infos about the trace, but setting a new width doesn't lead to any action
- right click when moving component is disabled
- track clearance not displayed when moving a line, even when setting is enabled
- w press during routing without mouse movement doesn't lead to visual width change
- routing a capacitor pad extremely close to a line is nearly impossible without selecting an entry point far away |
- track clearance not displayed when moving a line, even when setting is enabled
