You need to use EasyEDA editor to create some projects before publishing
suggestions

I am amazed at how good the easyeda software is. It is hard to believe how many good features are packed into a web page. I'd like to hire (steal) whoever develops the software. The new changes to the UI are especially good. I've used easyeda for about a year. I've also developed four or five web apps myself over the years. I'd like like to offer some humble suggestions ... Web standards ... 1) All dialog boxes need to support the ESC and Enter keys. Right now you have to move your hand to the mouse just to accept a dialog. 2) Clicking on links should not in general open new tabs in a browser. It makes sense when using the editor but at all other times it is unneeded. I find my tab bar full of unwanted easyeda tabs. 3) Changing the page magnification in the browser should be supported. EasyEda disables it now. I'd like to make everything around the editor smaller. I realize this may be a lot of work to change. 4) It would be nice if you could rearrange the tabs. Editor ... 1) Hitting ESC should cancel all modes. Some modes have to be used to get out of them. Placing a part is an example. 2) Menus like PCB Tools should be able to be hidden. I never use Preview but it is always there taking up space. Annoyances ... 1) The layers dialog becomes taller and shorter when moving the mouse over it. This is not needed and doesn't match any other dialogs. I find myself chasing a button as it moves around. 2) "Ask a question", "Chat live", etc. cover up things in the page and can't be removed. 3) I hit save (ctrl-S) all the time. Many times it says "Nothing changed" and I have to get the mouse to close the dialog. This is not necessary. If it is already saved then great, no need to tell me.

Thanks for your trouble. I am happy that much was my ignorance. :-) > We will don't know which link is, please indicate. My memory is that all links open new tabs but I could be wrong. It is at least most of them.

I was wrong about it being most tabs. But here is an example ... Open projects page click on project click on Open In Editor You now have 3 tabs open.

FWIW: I use the CTRL key to open tabs in a new window. So I would personally prefer no tabs to be opened automatically. I want to be in total control.

@mchahn In editor, all new schematic and PCB will be opened as new TAB. other packages, we think should open in the same tab, with CTRL to new Tab.

> all new schematic and PCB will be opened as new TAB That is a good idea.

Just to clarify Dillon's last post: The Preview Bar **can** be hidden.

Thanks for all these tips. I am glad to not have that (sorry) useless "preview" window any more. Please make the jumping layers box a priority. It is used a LOT and is the number one annoyance of this product. There is no need to make it expandable, just show the window with a scroll bar.
