Perhaps it would be best to make the displayed name of the solder mask

Just treat it as any other layer name.

Yes. That's how you enter the netlist when you don't have a

I don't think, that I would use these much.
* Layer visibility memory - this would have a Store button and a
Recall button. Store just stores the current visibility state,
Recall changes it to the stored value.

A lock can mislead, too. Locking implies the ability to be unlocked.

Thanks for all of your input, guys. I've done the fun parts

the Gtk menu system. It looks like it won't be too hard, once
I understand everything that's going on in there.
I have a busy weekend, so I won't be posting anything you can

I can't use Shift without making assumptions about what character
Shift+1 corresponds to on the user's keyboard. So that's out.
