ADDED: Option to assign unique reference designators to footprints
created with the array tool [pcbnew]
CHANGED: Array creator dialog no longer displays pad numbering properties
when in the board editor. [pcbnew]
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/2354
Also hides the net selector when in the footprint editor as it has
no meaning there. (We still only grey it out for the board editor
when the pad type has no net to keep things from coming and going too
much.)
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9317
Just wanting a SMD pad isn't enough -- the user may have already
set SMD settings into the master pad and changing the SizeX is
then very unexpected. Make sure the settings directly conflict
before making any "do what I mean" adjustments.
Also fixes the parent-footprint info when no parent exists.
Also gives a better title to the dialog when used to edit the masterPad
properties.

Scroll-to-show on GTK relies on the idle handler but this is interrupted
by a Raise and not revisited. Since the Dialog is always on top of the
editor, Raise is not needed to view the referenced error

This should not run if the action is "Cut". Additionally, we need to
transfer the expanded selection to selectionCopy in order for it to
proceed with the deletion. There is also no need for this to be limited
to the Hover action, so this section was removed.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9385
Makes usage cleaner. If the user specifies that they are creating an
SMD, they should get SMD pads by default so that they don't have to
change them later.

Added hotkey for cycling through net & netclass color modes.
Added hotkey for cycling through ratsnest layer visibilities.
Added code to display hotkey (if set) on the above and on high-contrast
cycle.

If we do a real drag, the timer will be cancelled. If we don't, then
the user is still holding the mouse button down and would probably like
to see the menu. Otherwise it appears the action is dropped.
The other drawing tools allow drag selection while idle. Also, it makes
it more obvious to the user when accidentally drag selecting while
routing than just doing nothing on a drag with the routing tool selected
and idle.
We were already checking zones separately (after tracks and pads); we
just weren't setting the flag that causes the COLLECTOR to also test
zone fills.

Moving points should not be overrided by disambiguation menu, so we
track where the disambiguation event started and only trigger the menu
if the mouse hasn't moved a full unit in x/y
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9132
Previously, we were checking if the selection tool was the top of the
stack but this ignored many other "secondary" tools that might be
running such as the point editor. These still allow the selection tool
to handle events such as clicks. This change allows the selection tool
to handle clicks when it is the primary tool on the stack rather than
the top
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9110
This requires enabling the space key to be bound with shift, which was
disabled based on an overbroad limit of only allowing shift to be mapped
with letter keys
Move tool works slightly differently from other tools when figuring out
new locations. This uses the global 45 enable flag to set proper item
locations when the user is requesting a 45° constraint on movement
This standardizes selection tools in SELECTION_TOOL class to be able to
handle a long-click as asking for a non-heuristic disambiguation menu.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8490
This assigns the "Tab" key to a general pcbnew 45° limitation. Limit
can be enabled/disabled using context menu as well.
Removed the user preference for 45° limitation on graphic lines as that
is overlapping with the general limitation, which is not an editing
preference so much as a temporary adjustment to tool action.

When placing a stitching via for a bypass capacitor, it is common to
place it close to the relevant pad. If the via does not have the
correct net, this will violate DRC and be prevented.
Checking for zone-based net assignments allows the workflow to proceed
This function attempted a poor-man's natural compare but it assumed
specific structure of the string. This broke for strings with
numberings that looked like decimals.
Instead, we use our natural string comparison function and remove the
references to this older function and its similar elements.

Moves all of the find dialog control out of the selection tool similar
to the schematic editor. Dialog is also non-modal now to match the
schematic editor.

1) Don't wait for UpdateUserInterface to build the (global) list of
layer names.
2) Report clearance resolution between a silk layer and a mask layer.
3) When writing DRC reports, include info about the violating rule.
4) Report "no relevant layers" if we fail to find anything to write
a clearance resolution report about.

6.0 will be in the field for a long time, and the better the debugging
tools we have available the less costly it will be to maintain.

They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
