KiCad TODO List
===============

WXMAC Platform
--------------
* Fix hotkey list to match CMD key
* Fix AddHotkeyName to let wxWidgets handle Ctrl to CMD key
* Fix toolbar button tooltips.

Common
------
* Grep for @TODO or TODO for sourcecode tasks
* Use Doxygen compatible comments on member functions (.h files)
* Add tooltip text to all non-obvious controls in every dialog window.
  Use wxFormBuilder.
* Component and module search displays in which library the
  module or component lives.
* List auto up and down scrolling.
* Push file open semantics down to one of the base frame classes ( likely candidate is
  WinEDA_BasicFrame ) so that file open behavior is consistent across all applications.

* Look over Brian's python BOM generation scripts, which are now in
  scripts/python/ky and sort them out.
  Code came from Brian in this posting's attachment, which is ky2.zip:
  https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg06763.html
  but is now in scripts/python/ky temporarily.



Eeschema
--------
* Drag and drop between two Eeschema windows.

Wayne:
E3)  Hook up perform last library search hot key to replace search libraries for
     component support removed from find dialog.
E4)  Change add component dialog search text control to combobox and add component
     search history save and restore capability.  Also add session save and restore
     to component history list control.  Add advanced search capability similar to
     new find dialog.
E6)  Start initial work for changing component library file format to use Dick's
     dsnlexer.  See note C2 above.  Come up with a workable library file format to
     handle the wishes of the library implementation group.  Add initial clipboard
     support to the library editor.



PCBNew
------

*)  Make the zone hit testing be done in screen coordinates, not internal units.
    See the @todos in class_zone.cpp.  A fixed distance in internal units becomes
    a variable distance based on zoom factor, leading to inconsistent results at
    various zoom factors.  I believe that a fixed distance in pixels might make
    for a friendlier UI.

*)  Add a hot key to toggle the 45 degree constraint on and off so that it can be
    changed when drawing a trace.

*)  Paste (module ...) from clipboard into module editor.




Dick's Final TODO List:
======================
*)  Milestone B of Modular KiCad Blueprint:
    * Put SEARCH_STACK::LastVisitedPath() out of its misery.
    * Combine CVPCB into PCBNEW.

*)  Milestone C of Modular KiCad Blueprint
    * SWIG class KIWAY, PROJECT, and KIWAY_MGR and fill out KIWAY_MGR as needed.
    * Implement PROJECT::Substitute().
    * Other stuff in blueprint milestone.

*)  Get licensing cleaned up.
