Eeschema: Swap X / Y hotkeys for v6 release
Description
- Current eeschema hotkeys X and Y should be swapped per default installation, because they do not correlate to user experience, command + description columns, and pcbnew v6:
Actually now: "X" flips around vertical, "Y" flips around horizontal direction (as user sees).
- Command name and description contradicts each other literally - see the screenshot: "Horizontal" is not "top to bottom" as description says.
Because v6 pcbnew coordinate system has left bottom corner as "0, 0" point with Vertical increasing up and Horizontal increasing to the right as default (I hope), eeschema should follow the same approach, or get this user experience at least
Related: #5711 (closed) #5395.
Steps to reproduce
- Open hotkey preferences, search for mirror;
- BUG#1: Command and description columns contradicts each other;
- Close dialog;
- Hit "X" over object, expected to flip around horizontal axis;
- BUG#2: Object flips around vertical;
- Open pcbnew, hit "X" around object, it is expected to flip around horizontal axis;
- Need to check: Hopefully it does flip around horizontal axis per default installation.
