> > Layer change is already avaiable on keyboard and function keys may switch to for example add via but insert via and continue with the route is a very common task then routing. A hotkey for insert via would be rather useful and I read the manual and can't find it, I am thinking about adding it.

Right mouse button also feels like a good solution but available on left hand is also easily accesible while drawing a route. To insert a via if layer is changed while routing will probably be my solution but I wan't to hear your oppinion about the choice of key?

I use the layer change button, it make sense, no need to learn new key, it will only insert via then drawing line. Currently it print a message but I have not yet figured out how to insert via at current coordinate??
