Both examples work on a footprint placed on a layout. I am talking about a
footprint itself. Off course, you can copy a footprint into the buffer, rip
up, edit, convert it back again to a footprint, copy to buffer, and overwrite
the old one.

Yes, I use VI to edit the soldermask openings. :-)

A footprint mode is okay with me.

I am thinking about a script that can run through my footprints and modify
such parameters like soldermask opening and keepaway, etc. in one go;
controlled by my Makefile system. We'd need such tool as well, regardless of
the ability of PCB itself. P.S.: tell me, if there any script that does
today...
