Component suggestion, tape measure
Feature request: Hide layers function?

Feature request: Thin toolbar with (that can be hidden) with hide/lock layer 
buttons, some config options, open/save ... Nice to see/change quickly which 
features are enabled.

Praise: Nice to see that things that aren't aligned to grid doesn't snap back 
to "on grid" when moved as part of a selection where something is aligned to 
the grid.

Bug: I do feel though that when moving parts that aren't on the grid, but with 
"snap to grid" enabled the pieces should keep their "off-grid'ishness" and not 
snap back to the grid, i.e. act like there was something I moved that was "on" 
the grid.

Heartbreak: I miss the option of holding down the ctrl-key to disengage "snap 
to grid".

Bug: Labels for the standing resistors?

Feature request: Click the labels in the list of selected items to select only 
that part. Nice when there's a lot of overlapping parts and traces and you want 
to select just one of them without locking layers.

While I remember, a function to "add missing solder pads", that adds solder 
pads for every component leg that doesn't already have one right under it. I 
tend to add all pads that aren't for off board wiring or jumpers as the last 
thing. Would be nice to have it automated, even though the "continuous 
creation" setting is a bless.

I strongly disagree with the comment:

  "I do feel though that when moving parts that aren't on the grid, but with "snap to grid" enabled the pieces should keep their "off-grid'ishness" and not snap back to the grid"

Turning on "snap on grid" is a valuable tool for jiggering things back into 
relative alignment with one another once you've messed with them, perhaps to 
get some points to stick.

This one I agree completely with - I want it back!
"Heartbreak: I miss the option of holding down the ctrl-key to disengage "snap 
to grid"."

I was going to make the shift key to toggle "snap to grid" as ctrl is taken by 
"sticky points".
