I have just installed 0.79, used it side by side with my 0.75 and looked at my 
workflow.

It has to do with the fact that for piece insertion I always Drag&Drop from the 
part list and I mostly insert parts by dragging towards another part so the new 
one will be on top of it. If I do this with Switch to Move off, the part I just 
inserted will not be selected. The other one will (along with a bunch of 
unrelated parts for some reason), because the mouse was hovering over it when I 
released the mouse button. So I guess it's not the fact that it switches to 
move that's important for me, but rather the fact that the new part is selected.

Sometimes the new part will even be obscured by or coincide with existing 
parts. Right now I can just insert the new part above a nearby part and start 
pressing the arrow keys to move it to its final position. Without Switch to 
Move, I would need to move parts out of the way to get to it again.

I guess I need to modify my question: wouldn't it make more sense to always 
have the new part selected after inserting it?

  I wasn't planning to add it back, I think the new arrows are a good 
replacement to having to switch between insert/move/rotate but I'm interested 
to hear why you don't like them.

  One of the complaints that I sometimes get is that having to switch to a 
different actions all the time is very inefficient so I've been adding 
alternatives to the action buttons.

Hi,

Windows question: in the Drawing Aids menu, will the setting "Switch to move 
after insert" be reinstated in a later version? I find it incredibly useful.
