I put it in the layer change function and if a line is drawn then changing layer a via is inserted. I did not find the function to insert via at first and of course I also had to end this line, start a new line.

It seems to work as supposed to although some details are probably not correctly done.

> > 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.
> >
> > If layer is changed while routing inserting a via between these layers or thru all layers may be a good choice. 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?

In particular "Auto enforce DRC clearance" does not while moving route in rubber band mode and it is rather useful then squeezing together routes/traces. Then moving routes connected to other routes it would probably also make sense to keep trace/route angles instead of trace length, endpoints have to be kept at intersection points. These changes are howevere a little bit more involved.
