Label editing, copying issue / feature request #35

Open beischer opened 3 years ago

Editing label names vs. copying label names is a bit broken or at least works in a mysterious way. Reproduce:

  1. Left click on a label. The label dialog opens and the label name is highlighted/selected.
  2. In "Windows standard" this means that Ctrl+C should copy the highlighted label name. This does not happen, but starting to type replaces the label name with the new text. To use Ctrl+C to copy the label name, press right arrow, press Shift+Home (to select the text), press Ctrl+C. This puts the text in the copy/paste buffer.

Another issue with the "Label Tool Options" dialog: It doesn't close by pressing Esc.

One feature that I often use is to find all labels with the same text to navigate to the place where the signal pops up. This is when I most often comes into the above mentioned copy paste issues. To find the labels with the same text, a lot of key strokes are necessary. This could be solved with a "working" copy text label function (copy the first highlighted text), a working Esc button on the label dialog, and the now available working Ctrl+F. Could also be made available in the pop up menu for a label or a component, like a "Find all similar" menu option.
