I see that one of the improvements listed for V4.11.5 is "Remove shortcut key G"
Why is this listed as an improvement, what were the issues?

I don't know for sure but it may be because some users thought that the `G` Hotkey was a shortcut to place a ground symbol (as is the case in the schematic capture front end of LTSpice) and then made their lives hell by placing the rest of their schematic off-grid without realising it.
As an extensive LTSpice user: been there, done that.

Hi
Avoid to close the Snap function by accidentally, that will make the wire to detach the PIN, then have to re-draw the schematic. So that we remove this shortcut key.
thanks.
Thanks for the feedback. @andy I can see your point however going down that road would probably have to take into account a bunch of similar applications' keystrokes that may cause users grief in EasyEDA. I'm willing to bet that users making that sort of mistake would soon learn otherwise. I am an avid (if not extensive) LTspice user myself.
@Tutorials I for one used the G key quite a lot in pcb editor- I'm sad to see it go, cant win them all I guess but it brings me to another point - consider exposing your pending feature release or feature request list and have a voting system. Is that even doable? (Something along the lines of [this discussion][1]). It would make users feel they at least had a say even if they were outvoted - right now I'm just annoyed that a feature I used has been removed.

@FrankCA We found many users dosen't know they have pressed the G key to make the snap close, and make the whole shcematic have to re-draw. That is a severity issue. So we remove this shortcut, you can change it at right panel, in the feature ,maybe we will add a new shortcut for it, but not the single key. very sorry that impact your operation.
