Left hand keys are very handy then using the mouse. > it's kind of off-topic, as it won't affect any geda tool or pcb or > pcb-rnd, but I was wondering... We had debates on this list about key > bindings in gschem vs. key bindings in pcb. I generally prefer how gschem > does this, I find those key combinations easier to remembee.
