@Stefan Schippers on my latest build of

xschem

(0178e1c287a1f144fb4634e17fe96726e7b4b26f) the menu items for flip and rotate are grayed out?!? (version 1ee4117ea93c5ae27efbac1789267553366101fa work fine). Any idea what is going on?

They are greyed out because these are supposed to be done via keybinding. Using the menu did not work correctly. When I have fixed this the menu items will be again available.

The ALT-… keybindings do not work with my Mac keyboard, thus I can only use the menu items…

Ok This raises the problem to top of list. Thank you for reporting.

@Harald Pretl Is there a way to use the Command key as a modifier? is it recognized in other X11 applications?

@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.

@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!

@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.
