the open dialog and others show the cross-hair also in the drawing window, only the "... : UNSAVED data ..." warning dialog-box does it. may be the redrawing is blocked.

Yes, I know. All dialog boxes i coded myself do not block event processing. For some alerts i used the tk_messageBox command, and this blocks execution completely. I will remove all these and use a custom alert box. Will take a little time to complete. the tk_messageBox is probably to be used only for absolute critical situations where the program should not be allowed to do anything until the user closes the alert box.

super

An easy workaround is to set the mouse pointer to default whenever mouse pointer exits the drawing window. See video.

Side note: you can set the layer (color) used for the Xhair with: set crosshair_layer where n is a number. See xschem Layers menu for the layer numbers. If an invalid number is given the grey layer (selection) is used.

yes its perfect!

in You video, i saw, thats possible to send the "remote commands" direct via the terminal. are this the commands that are described in the comments of the xschemrc?
