In the layer list there’s a pencil for each layer,
that appears at first glance to be the edit feature.
It’s not.

The suggestion is to use different icons for the two features.

I’d like to be able to select a portion of a given DXF file,
then export and get a PDF or SVG with just that selection.

Among the use cases is multiple versions of a design on a single sheet,
but I’ll export and use just one of them in another program.

Could you add “plain text paste” as ctrl-shift-V
Why? Because sometimes the clipboard comes in with rich text formatting that’s anti-helpful.
The workaround is to paste into a plain text editor, or the console, then recopy and repaste into qCad.

Either way the ctrl-shift-V shortcut is useful for those trained on other software but:
one could also argue that qCad should NEVER take rich text, and rather only accept the plain text with both CTRL-V and CTRL-SHIFT-V.

— CHV says

Agreed, having encountered it numerous times while documenting with text snippets from elsewhere. :roll:
Even copying Info measurements from the Command Line are Rich Text.

The best place to file a feature request is QCAD Bugtracker:

May I remark that Ctrl-Shift-V is already in use for Paste along Entity (PE)
But not when the Text Editor Widget has the focus and dialog Widgets are always modal on a Win OS system. :wink:
Still, I’ll vote for it in any way.:P

Suggestion to add spelling checker / spell checker for all text boxes
