Grouping things and moving it as a whole would be wery welcome.

Though for just this case showed in the video, you could use a 
footprint as I have in:
 http://aspodata.se/git/openhw/share/pcb/_mechanical/bopla_euromas_210.fp
I just wounder how to convert that to a subcircuit.

Too busy now, sorry, but your and Erichs work sounds very promising.

Would be interesting to see how the idea with the aux layer plays out.

In "on-screen indication of subc" you mentions largish elements.
When I design in a enclusure I use footprint for the enclosure and by 
definition all other things comes inside that footprint. How would this 
new indication help ?
