The right mouse button functionality I described, is exclusive to the mode buttons. It does not interfere in any way with right-mouse functions during routing, or on objects. > The use of the right mouse button to get back one level in handler > hierarchy is very convenient for me.

It is a pain to constantly move up and down this hierarchy and keep the current position in the hierarchy in mind. The most important tools should be readily available, no matter what. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
