Thank you for reporting.

10/20/2023, 7:42 PM@Harald Pretl Is there a way to use the Command key as a modifier? is it recognized in other X11 applications?

10/20/2023, 8:42 PM@Harald Pretl consider also that the most frequently used flip and rotate commands are done with the Shift key.
Shift-R does a rigit rotation of the selection around the mouse position.
Shift-F flips horizontally the selection w.r.t a vertical axis passing through the mouse position.
the less frequently used 'Alt' versions (should be used only with selected components):
Alt-r rotates each selected item around its own center
Alt-f flips (horizontally) each selected item around its center.
I will however clean up the menus for these commands.

10/20/2023, 9:37 PM@Stefan Schippers good point with Shift-R/F… I was not aware of that. I now also managed to change the XQuartz settings so that the Option-key is mapped to Alt. So I am good now, thanks!

10/20/2023, 11:08 PM@Harald Pretl The Edit menus will be active in next xschem commits, but see this video for the issues with menu actions. I have also added rotate/flip to the (right click) context menu which is in my opinion much easier to use than the top menubar for these operations.
