Re: gEDA-user: [PATCH] Drag without selection in gschem
I'd suggest making it an opt-out for people like me who like it as it
is, but maybe I'll get used to it.

Could someone give this a test and come up with any counter-reasons

this attached patch is NOT a good idea? I vaguely recall a similar
(or
identical?) idea was discussed on the list recently?
I was watching some students using gschem the other week, and
noticed
them struggling to move objects due to the fact they had to select
them
first. I wrote a patch which lets a drag action operate on whatever
is
under the mouse (selected or not).
The user can override the mechanism and get a "normal"
drag-selection
box by holding shift when dragging. This also happens if the user
drags
on a blank area of the schematic.
This seems to work here (in conjunction with some other cleanup I
pushed
to git HEAD).
I'd appreciate a second pair of eyes on it though, as I just knocked
it
together quickly.
Fwiw.. dragging of selected locked objects _does not_ work.. (never
did
as far as my brief skim of the code suggests.). I think we ought to
fix
that.
