X and Y values, in which case the selection is moved to the
current pointer position. This allows a different implementation
of the "copy" command as "select move; select keep", which avoids
the problem that "copy" has of modifying the selection with layer
interactions with the existing layout.
commands that make use of the pointer position have an equivalent
command that operates solely on layout coordinates, or otherwise
avoids needing a pointer position. Added the command option
"down <instance>" to avoid using the pointer to disambiguate
selections. Added the command option "select ... at x y" to
do paint or cell selections at a specific coordinate instead of
the pointer position.
The website documentation now points to these contents in a clone
of the repository on opencircuitdesign.com, so all future edits of
the command-line documentation will be made directly to the git
repository. Also: Changed the precision of box values printed in
microns from 2 to 3 digits after the decimal place, so that 5 nanometer
grids do not get values clipped in the output.
