I swear I just got RSI working for an afternoon with a commercial
schematic capture / layout tool (Proteus) which our Electronics people
push / recommend.

Clicking through menus and pop ups to change track / pad sizes. If there
was a keyboard shortcut (or a way to configure one), it beat me..

I did get lost in config-dialog hell for a bit too. (Not that config
dialogs are bad.. just these weren't particularly well designed).

Unfortunately, I need to learn it a bit so I can help students on a
project. Its not all bad though, some things are quite nice, and I saw
features I wished PCB had, even if using it did make my muscle memory
ache.
