Re: MOS/CSG Kicad library

I will second the keystrokes statement. Learn the shortcut keys and Kicad will be so much easier.
M=MoveC=CopyE=EditR=RotateW=Wire / END=doneENTER=Place Component/label etc
These will get you going.

:-) Yes it may be hard to fathom it out after being spoiled by EAGLE's back and forward annotations, and especially when having a good use cases for those. Still, I can imagine living with this. Even the need to assign "footprints" to "components" as a separate subprocess isn't that bad although I am heavily used to the one step "fire'n forget" from EAGLE. Yes, we are biased.

One more thing. As someone who walks similar path as you I can probably advise: don't try to look for ways to do things only with your mouse (icons, menus, ...) that's frustrating in KiCAD (yeah... bias..). Look for the keystrokes you need to learn and learn them thoroughly. This makes a big difference and once you use them, your efficiency soars.
