Relatively simple proposals:
1. Rename 'copy' to 'duplicate' in eeschema to match pcbnew.
2. Rename 'save' to 'copy' in eeschema to match traditional usage.
3. Add default Ctrl-V keybinding to eeschema for 'paste' to match traditional
usage.
4. Add 'cut' to eeschema, on Ctrl-X:
- This differs from save/copy->delete in that it should keep
reference designators, since you're just moving parts.
- This differs from block-move in that it would work across sheets,
which I think is a significant plus.
Possible drawbacks:
1. Existing tutorials/unofficial docs will not match. Not such a big
deal in this case as 'duplicate' is quite obvious.
2. Existing tutorials/unofficial docs will not match. Bit more important
for save vs. copy.
3. Keybinding conflict with pcbnew's Add MicroVia, so pcbnew couldn't be
amended to add this keybinding to *it* for
consistency. There's always the possibility that Add MicroVia could
be given a different binding, as I don't
think it's a very often used function.
4. None that I can think of.
Any thoughts on this? These are all things I can easily implement if desired.
