Yes, for symbols that is easy.

A bigger problem are invisible floating attributes or text.

Making all visible is ugly. So we need some listview similar to a
spreadsheet which can display all floating text. (yes I know, there was
a separate tool available, something like gatrib) For this again I have
some problems with multiline text. Maybe I should temporary split
multiline text to multiple single line text elements? But than I have to
restrict individual position movement.

Multiline text gives me indeed some headache, and I think that gschem
handles it not perfect too.
