It would be very nice to have an option for setting custom colors for the wires in the propieties, just like the LED. I know it would be confusing if someone colors a wire like an error, but that could be solved by adding an option to highlight / mark errors. This would be very useful for organization / debugging purposes.

Also, there could be a way to select a whole wire (A wire + all the ones conected to it + all the ones conected to tthose + ...)

You can already highlight a net by clicking with the hand tool on a wire while value propagation is active. This will also add a callout showing the nets' value. For illustration, see this contrived example:

IMHO, the capability to assign colours to wires has a too high confusion potential, as the nets' value is signalled by the colour. Therefore, this feature requires more discussion to clearly define the use cases and restrict the choices of colours to a subset, which doesn't interfere with value signalling.

PRs in this direction are welcome and will be reviewed by us, but we have to focus our limited development resources on other higher priority issues.
