Many users asked for horizontal cursors in graphs, so here they are...

Nice! This helps a lot. = Is it possible to manually enter a value for the horizontal cursor? If not, no problem as I currently do it by setting "&lt;value&gt;" in the waveform plot. Thanks

<@U05BPF7R3T5> Yes as on vertical cursors, clicking inside the graph close to the cursor with the right button (instead of the left button) will bring up a text entry where you can set the exact position. I need one more commit to fix some minor things.

Great. After a git pull I can see that now and that I can manually enter where to place the horizontal cursor.

When I did the "git pull/make/sudo make install" I got the shown error. Should I be concerned about this?

Small point, but the "Netlist/Simulate/Waves" section is now more center instead at the top right. Is this intended?

<@U01819B63HP>: In addition to above, I used to use "shift + A" to show netlist. As that has been reassigned now to creating a horizontal cursor, what is the keyword to show netlist?

Correction  on my last post, I see now that shift+A inside the graph gives the horizontal cursor, but shift+A outside enables netlist to be shown.

<@U05BPF7R3T5> the indicated file has been removed since it is now integrated directly in xschem. to remove the error regenerate the Makefiles with `./configure`. Then run make and sudo make install as usual.
The Netlist/Simulate/Waves menu entries now follow the other menu entries (I have put a separator dash after Help). The entire menu system has been rewriten to use the true menu tk command instead of simulating a menubar with menubutton commands. This was needed to make the menu more compliant with all other GUI applications.
the differences are:
• You can click on a menu to show it, hovering to other menu items they will drop down automatically without a click needed.
• Clicking on an open menu entry will close it.
• Hovering to an open menu will drop down any cascade submenus if any.
Unfortunately this menu system does not have a specification to put some items to the right.

About the Shift-A, yes some commands are overloaded, they do something in the schematic and something else in the graphs.
In cases where this is _irritating_ you can set the following in `xschemrc`:
`set graph_use_ctrl_key 1`
This will require to add `Ctrl`-key down to any action you want to do on a graph. Otherwise all commands will be interpreted as schematic commands.

Pefect <@U01819B63HP>. Thanks for those updates.
