Hi Wayne, I wrote the whole PushTool/PopTool stuff exactly for that case. Which action in particular is going back to the SelectionTool?
(Note that some are “supposed” to. If you click on a tool in the toolbar, or select it from the Place menu, then cancelling should take you back to the SelectionTool. However, if you use the context menu or a hotkey, it should push and then pop the drawing tool. Not to say that it’s not buggy, or that the design behaviour isn’t optimal.) Cheers, Jeff. PS: should I make the same changes to Pcbnew, or should be await more feedback? (Feedback on the forums has been uniformly positive so far, but pretty sparse with only 3 likes.) > On 18 Jun 2019, at 12:48, Wayne Stambaugh <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey Jeff, > > I spent some time this morning playing around with the "immediate" > hotkeys in Eeschema and it's better but there is still one annoying > difference from the legacy behavior.
