Adding attributes requires too much mouse work (selecting, careful pointing to position the attribute, then you use both hands to type a net name, hand back to mouse, etc).
Use gattrib. That's what it's for.
One Gripe... gattib: You can't use it like you expect from a spreadsheet. ie. <tab> to move horizontally, <enter> to move vertically. with <shift> where appropriate.
You can move horizontally & vertically between cells using the arrow keys. For cut/copy & paste, <ctrl>-C, <ctrl>-X, and <ctrl>-V work the usual way.
When you move cells, it steals focus and sets your X paste buffer to whatever is in the cell, so you can't middle-click to paste something you just highlighted from another window. I use that to quickly copy footprint names.
Anyway, I agree. I've had it on my ToDo list for perhaps two years to make gattrib handle focus in a better way. Indeed, I have fiddled with this problem in the past, but wasn't able to fix the behavior. The code which manages the spreadsheet is stolen/forked from GtkExtras. I admit that I still don't understand it 100%. I need to spend some quality time cleaning up my port and understanding exactly how the GtkExtras widget works. Perhaps another code sprint topic....
