I would really like better relative move support.  When I'm laying out
a footprint, especially, I often want to move the selection (or paste
the buffer) to a position relative to some other point on the layout
(often the Mark).  However I never have success with MoveObject() using
relative moves.  The manual was not helpful in indicating what the
position offset is relative to.

Also Ctrl-Q is the universal Quit operation but gschem has Alt-Q.

I see it being useful to remind you what symbol you're using.
