I'm not sure where pink comes into the find button in th= e netlist dialog, but it may be an unintended behavior...

Some while ago I added a distinction to the "F" be= haviour, so it would only Green colour objects that are physically connecte= d. Objects that are only connected to the search location by traversing a r= at-line get labeled and coloured differently (pink/purple colour by default= ).

I did this after missing a connection on a production board,= (had a deliberate short between agnd and dgnd, so the drc / log window was= n't able to tell me).

Have found it is quite a handy distinction to make, and was = more acceptable to everyone than changing behaviour of "F" to not= follow rat lines.

All key bindings are caused by menu entries, so all key bindings have
to be in there somewhere.=C2=A0 Any key binding that doesn't have a &qu= ot;home"
elsewhere in the menu gets put in the key bindings list.

The menu system isn't designed for conflicting hotkeys.=C2=A0 I don'= ;t know
what would happen if you did that.
