And now I'm like - why the hell don't all built-in libraries do it this way by default because then I wouldn't even need to make my own personal copy of a footprint, just to make the markings text fields, just so I can easily move them!? They've been grandfathered in as graphical objects for decades and it results in a terrible UX.
Now you may all tell me how you've already been doing this for years, or how there's this other easy way of getting around the issue. :) (7/7)

Also, I generated this thread using Splinter, which is a really excellent tool. It allows you to add images incl alt text to each individual post. Thank you @neiman@social.hastily.cc ! https://splinter.hastily.cc/

@alpenglow@mstdn.social you might wanna open a bug on the kicad-libraries repo, a lot of those are generated via a script and it might be possible to fix that for a large number of them relatively easily!
