Hi

I tried out the latest pcb from CVS recently. The preview in library is
great, however the new cursor key bindings seem really odd - they move
the mouse pointer.

I find this a very weird user interface decision. I move my mouse
pointer with my mouse - not with my keyboard. The cross already snaps to
grid so this feature is useless for aligning the pointer with the grid.
Shift-cursor combinations pan the window, but also move the pointer in
unpredictable ways. This results in a funny situation that after a
couple of key presses the cursor ends up in another window, moving the
focus and causing the next key press to do something unexpected there!

I strongly believe that software should not interfere with the mouse
pointer. So, my question is: is there any good reason for these
keybindings and would you accept a patch that would make cursor keys
behave like in gschem (i.e. panning the view below the cursor)?

Best regards
Tomaz
