If I remember correctly it was gschem which uses multi-key keybindings
-- I have never used that program to make a PCB layout :-). I can not
recall if the PCB program has multi-key keybindings too, I think I have
never used any. But I have not done layouts in the last years any more.
Of course I can imagine that for people doing layouts 8 hours every day
multi-key keybindings are fine, but for people who make only a few
schematics and layout each year, it is difficult to remember key
sequences. I can recall "ve" for gschems view extend, and dd, yy, wq for
vim only.
