6 clicking or dragging will change the selection behavior. These keys are platform-specific and are described in the Editing Options section of the Preferences dialog. KiCad editors have the concept of a tool which can be thought of as a mode that the editor is in. The default tool is the selection tool, which means that clicking will select objects under the mouse cursor as described above. There are also tools for placing new objects, inspecting existing objects, etc. The active tool is highlighted in the toolbar, and the name of the active tool is shown in the bottom right of the editor in the status bar. Pressing Esc always means "cancel" in KiCad: if a tool is in the middle of some action (for example, routing tracks), the first press of Esc will cancel that action. The next press of Esc will exit the tool complely, returning to the default selection tool. With the selection tool active, pressing Esc will clear the current selection, if one exists.
