Ok so what’s intended but not written can cause problems when you don’t do things on daily basis. Right?
go to the dir of the project
up there into the KiCAD terminal git clone https://gitlab.com/kicad/addons/metadata.git

Hey everyone,
I recently started using KiCad for designing PCBs for crossovers in loudspeakers. I am more used to working in Pad2Pad, however I am enjoying the workflow in KiCad and was curious about what techniques/tools exist within KiCad to double check your copper/via/pad connections.
In Pad2Pad, you can select a copper region and press Alt + C to highlight all traces/pads/vias that are connected to this copper region. Is there a similar tool in KiCad that does this?
Thanks in advance,

After designing a power supply, I have placed components, made tracks, copper areas, keepout areas etc.
The goal is to make a dual power supply. Except for input and management parts, I would like to just “clone” the power stage to another schematic sheet, and clone the power design (with components and PCB design)
how can this be done? - or am I stuck with doing it manually ..read more

thank you Raptor,
I made an example on the fly, as you can see on the back of the card the separate sectors of the crossover, positive and negative, do not appear.
