   Using a keyboard to do anything but writing text is a thing of the

   I think you will find that a pretty much all high end commercial CAD
   tools put a lot of effort into getting the keyboard accelerators right.
   Your concept of the keyboard being only for text has no basis in any
   CAD tool I have ever heard of.

   Fritzing is great, so is intuitive design. I don't really understand
   why gEDA gets slammed on its UI so much. It is different, and like
   anything worth learning takes some effort.
