gEDA-user: Newbie questions



Hello list,

I'm a total gEDA newbie and am pretty amazed about what is possible 
already. Still, I'm currently having some problems which probably are 
extremely easy to solve for some of you - most of them are only about 
usability. Currently I'm just designing with gschem, maybe do some PCBs 
later. So here are my questions, all about gschem:

1. How can I highlight a complete net in gschem? I have mostly stuff 
like http://bildrian.de/n/b/c3c0ce767ca5d198.png this - when I want to 
find out where exactly PA2 goes, I have to manually follow each piece of 
network, which is kind of annoying.

2. I love the keyboard shortcuts, they make design really efficient when 
you got used to. One thing that annoys me, however, is that nets are 
started with "n", but when you're finished, you have to hit "Escape". 
This is a long way from the "n". Can I remap it so that finishing 
networks can be done with, say "b"?

3. When drawing nets, is it possible to just undo the last click while 
staying in network drawing mode? I currently always hit "Escape", then 
mark the net, move the misplaced vertex, then again hit "n".

4. When moving vertecies which are connected to two networks (e.g. a 
corner somewhere), how can it be done that *both* endpoints of the net 
in question are moved? Currently when I move a point it first moves the 
vertex from the first part, disconnecting the network. Then I have to 
manually also pull the second one there.

Any help appreciated,
Thanks,
Johannes
