Just though I'd post this. The implementation is a little kludgy, but it seems to yield the desired behaviour.
I've been drawing various control block diagrams with gschem recently, using an arrow symbol with two pins to indicate signal flow. Having to add nets between everything manually can be a bit of a pain as you rework and move things in the diagram. This patch allows you to touch two pins together (placing the component so the pins connect), then pull them apart to produce nets. It also works when moving nets attached to pins, so new segments are produced. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
