I just updated the eeschema code to insert new pins based on orientation.
I have a few questions and wasn't able to find the answers in the code:
1. Where is the global variable g_RepeatStep set? It is used to determine
horizontal and vertical step distances?
2. Am I using this global as it is intended? It seems like the insert
function was half-implemented. It currently applies a -100 mil offset when
you press the INSERT key. There is no implementation in the X direction.
3. If this is the correct usage, how would I set the default
g_RepeatStep.x value to 100 mils as well?
4. Why is g_RepeatStep not initialized when running eeschema from the
command line?
Thanks.

For context, I have added my patch below.
