Not really viable for me. I'm a mouser and I don't have the keyboard memory
space to remember LEdit commands, although I have lots of visual memory space
left to remember what MLCad icons mead. Plus running two different editors
against the same source at the same time is a big big accident waiting to
happen. So I won't be trying LEdit again, I found it hard to use back when I
first tried it and nothing has changed. Had that debate already. For some
people LEdit rocks. Not me.
Again, I think my original suggestion of a shortcut key in MLCad for this
command is a valid one not addresed by either of your suggestions although I
certainly thank you for making them. And I agree that view mode is a handy
thing for checking steps if you think you have them right already. When I am
checking steps I usually don't, though, and need to be in edit mode to move
parts around in the ordering.
