Playing around with this, there are a few features that would be very helpful:

1.  Have a "master switch" for view values, view name, or individual settings.  
Setting to "Display values", for instance, would override the individual 
component settings and show only values for every component... etc.

2. A key, that while pressed, overrides "snap-to-grid". It turns out to be 
fairly inconvenient to go to the menu to disable snap to grid every time you 
want to fine position, or attach a wire to a tube socket, etc., then re-enable 
it when done.

3. An *awesome* feature would be a "clone" button, that would allow you to use 
an existing component as a template, and would "clone" that component, but with 
your own default settings.... so I could easily create, for instance, 
electrolytic caps using the template, that correspond to my 47uF, 33uF, 22uF, 
and 10uF sizes. Added parts would be added to the library and persist between 
openings of the program.  There are a couple of ways these could be 
displayed...either up top with everything else, or, when you select a template, 
it would show you the "daughter" parts based on it on a lower row. You would 
also need a way to delete unwanted clones.

+1 for "awesome feature", maybe inside a component editor stuff? for example 
and in continuation of your proposal, I add some pins indication for IC's it 
would be great to add it as new component.
