If there's considerable user demand, I may add an optional feature for this too later on.
 
I came exactly to the same conclusion.
What I have is a 'connect by kissing' feature. If two components are connected pin to pin
(no wire in between) and this option is enabled wires are added when separating the components.
I don't use this option very often, however ex-Cadence users asked this , as this is commonly
enabled in Virtuoso schematic editor.
It is anyway a different command, normally moving a component will do just that, move it without
stretching or adding wires attached to it.
