Ability to move multiple tracks and text in PCB designer, and weld track points together.

**Feature Request** Ability to move multiple tracks and text in PCB designer. Currently I can highlight multiple text and tracks in the PCB designer using **ctrl+left-click**, but I have to add a hole or some other component to the design to grab a hold of to be able to move them as a unit. If I don't, it selects the track/text I use to drag with and only moves that track or point. The other option is to cut and past the entire group of selected objects, or make a group out of them and then un-group them, but this does not always work as expected and both options add unneeded complexity to the process. The ability to weld tracks together into one rather than delete and redraw would be nice too, especially for document layers when trying to move or reshape designs made out of lines/tracks or change a shape created from lines at the point where it starts and stops (usually the same place, but 2 different track points that could be welded together and move as one.

I can't understand others, but we should delete segment of a track. Press `SHIFT` key, at the same time double click the segment which you want to delete.

If you select multiple tracks or text items using ctrl+left-click and then go to move them all at the same time it selects the one you use to grip a hold of, and only moves that one instead of all of them. For the welding one, if you draw a square (or a hexagon, or other unfilled shape), you will get a line with corners along it's length that winds up at the same place as it started. There are 2 issues with this. a) you cannot grab the whole shape (line) and move it, you have to move each corner independently, leading to inaccuracies. It makes irregular shapes and unfilled shapes on the document/silk layers difficult to manipulate. b) the point where you started and stopped the line (which will be the same place in the case of an enclosed shape) will be 2 points and thus that corner will need to be shifted twice. These could be welded together to form a single continuous line or an enclosed shape instead of being a line that starts and stops at the same place. If want to merge 2 existing tracks/lines together into one you cannot currently, you must delete one and re-draw it. Hope this helps with understanding the request. Braedon

Got it, Maybe you can use `arrow key` to move the selected items now. will make the movement better later. Yes, now we can't merge them at present. Add your request to todo list ( a long todo list) Thanks
