--0000000000002d177c06059e5861 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I use the 'connect by kissing' feature in lepton/gschem quite heavily. It really speeds things up. One example would be when adding connectors, I can place the connector over the part I would like to connect to and then move the connector away and it generates the wire connections.
