How do I get Kicad's pcb editor to insert a via?
It's probably really simple, but I can't make it happen!
Argh!

Why do you have to press "v" to get a via ?
Most decent programs place them automatically as you change layer !

to component and copper but can be any two layers.
The top and bottom layers are bound to PgUp and PgDown, with inner
layers (up to 8 inner) bound to F-keys (additional layers beyond 10
total don't get dedicated keys). Changing a track's layer with Pg-x or
F-x does drop a via, as expected.
