Here would be an alternative approach ... fixing the library. If library maintainers are ok with it, I can send it as pull request on github. Essentially: remove all the component names as first element in the description. They are redundant, and it is also error prone to maintain. https://github.com/hzeller/kicad-library/compare/suggestion-remove-repeated-component-name.diff -h > On Thu, Jun 25, 2015 at 06:24:33PM -0700, Henner Zeller wrote: >> Hi, >> In component descriptions, often the first word in the description is >> a repetition of the component name.
