This section is designed to highlight one or two features per issue that may be overlooked because they are not made visually obvious with an icon or a menu item.
Select Toggle with Space Bar
When drawing a circuit, one frequently switches between Component or Text mode while placing parts or text and the Select mode to move or edit the component or text. You can do this easily by pressing the space bar. It toggles between the current mode and the Select mode. If you are in Text mode and have just finished entering a piece of node text, but it didn't fall exactly where you wanted it, press the space bar to temporarily change to Select mode, drag the text to where you want it, then hit the space bar again to restore Text mode. This applies regardless of whether the mode is Component, Line, Text, Info, or any other of the drawing modes.
