It seems to be the standard ever since the Mac brought the Xerox interface to the mainstream... It is the case on pretty much every program that supports dragging of objects even word for windows...
Maybe you don't now, but wouldn't you use it when laying out a board? I would also like to see the wildcard * implemented when placing components like give me all resistors one after the other by R* ... Right click of course does that I know, but read my description of the standard again, it should also be able to do it on multiple items selected - but selecting multiple items isn't even supported yet! " The marque 'lasso' as it turns up currently should _only happen_ when the drag is initiated above clean deskspace (nothing to select)! It should not by default result in a question to move, but if a drag follows on one of the selected components the drag should be performed on all selected components! If shift or control is pressed: further refining of the selection should be possible! If a right click is performed: access to methods of the selected objects should be given, and applied to the whole selection as applicable!
