DiagramEventAddElement is already a good placement mode: the element
follows the cursor on the grid, a left click drops it, Space rotates it,
and it stays loaded for a run of the same symbol. Its only caller was
DiagramView::handleElementDrop(), so it could be reached only by
finishing a drag. Double-clicking a symbol in the Collections dock
opened the element editor instead.
- DiagramView::startElementPlacement() is split out of
handleElementDrop(). defaultPlacementPos() uses the cursor when it is
over the view and the centre of the visible area otherwise.
- ElementsCollectionWidget emits insertElementRequested() on double
click, or Enter on the highlighted item. The host decides which view
receives it, so the widget can later be reused outside the editor.
- When there is nowhere to place it (no folio open, read-only project),
the element editor opens, as a double click did before.
- "Insérer le dernier élément" (Édition menu, default key A) places the
last element again. DiagramView reports every placement it starts, so
an element dropped by drag counts too. Macros are not remembered.
A rather than Space: Space rotates the pending element inside placement
mode and is bound three more times in this editor. The key is a
ShortcutManager default and can be changed in the Shortcuts page.
Double click placing is a behaviour change, so it has a preference,
"elementscollection/double-click-inserts" (default true), shown in
Configuration as an opt-out: "Double-cliquer dans la collection ouvre
l'éditeur d'élément au lieu de l'insérer".
