Add Clarify Selection to RMB->Select menu in pcbnew (lp:#1854915)
Original report created by eelik (eelik)
Sometimes selecting something instead of something else is difficult in
pcbnew. For example if I RMB click on a pad it selects the pad, it's not
possible to select the footprint there.
How about adding the "Clarify Selection" option under the "RMB->Select"
submenu? It would be possible to get all selection options from there, and
it wouldn't even distract existing workflows in any way.
