The new snake(x) or snake(y) function is for me a great advance when it comes to drawing, it allows you to make perpendicular lines to each other simply by entering the length, something similar to what AutoCAD does and that I really missed at work time.

However, I would add an improvement that would make it even much better, the idea is that when we enter the length we do not have to enter the sign of that length nor if it is an orthogonal line or continuation of the direction of the previous one, taking both data of the position in which we place the pointer. Something like what autocad does and which can be seen in the following video.

On the other hand, the trim order would improve if, once the limit entity is selected, it allows several entities to be trimmed to be selected together and not one at a time. For example, with a line that crosses all the ones we want to extend.

Thank you very much again for your effort in making Librecad a great CAD program.
