Need documentation for placing vias with shift click

Asked by Robert

Hello,

I requested and was quickly granted the feature of modifying how vias are added to a trace. When holding the shift key down while adding a via, the routing ends as soon as the mouse button is clicked, and the active layer doesn't change. This is useful when adding a connection to a plane in which you wouldn't want to have the active layer change and wouldn't want to continue adding trace. I looked and don't see any documentation about this feature, but believe it's very useful and should be shared with other users. How can we get documentation updated?

Thanks
