Hi guys!

a little idea...

when you have a mess of objects and cable and you have to select/delete/move things it often happen that could be difficult to actually select things whith the mouse when cables are passing over objects...

a kind of keyboard shortcut and a right click context menu for

toggle cable foreground/background would be useful

Yes i agree, if working with complex schematics the wires can sometimes get in the way when trying to select things. An option to send wires back and forward would be usefull.

I also had name tags being buried under modules sometimes. If you have two outs above each other, you can edit their name and see them both, but if you change their order, the second will be buried.

You can already choose to have links appear behind components or not. Go to the Options menu then Schematic and check/unchekc the display links on top of components. This will apply to all links of course. Did you want this on a per link basis?

I should have known a power user like yourself would have known that lalo 🙂 A shortcut shouldn't be a problem.

Hi everyone..... Great idea lalo!!! I second the notion on the right click pop up menu option... I really would like the right click as opposed to the key shortcut....... Much Love 😍 ... Peace and Science
