CubeMX - search for alternative pins does not work

In CubeMX version 6.20, board Nucleo-H743ZI2:

I want to find alternatives for SPI1_MOSI. Default is PD7 but all examples use PA7.

So I ctrl/click on PD7 and expect that CubeMX will show me PA7. But it does not.

Well maybe it finds it, but does not show it in any useful way.

Tried left , right, middle click, left or right control.

Same with PA7: if selected as SPI1_MOSI, ctrl/click will not show PD7.

Crtl+click was for older versions until recently. Now one has to Ctrl+hold that click and watch for black blinking pins.

I had all kinds of problems figuring it out also. Finally I had to ask.

Go to the Pinout View of the chip in CubeMX. Right Click on the pin and define it from the pull down menu.

It is not intuitive.

Works like a charm for me if IDE 1.6.0 or MX 6.2.0 at least. I've just followed user manual:

0693W000008ySL4QAM.jpgOnly variation is on my side compliant target pins are all highlighted in black. Blue is allocated to pin I'm finally selecting to perform my remapping.

Thank you Cartu32 for replying.

Foer me it does not work. Ctrl/Click on a configured pin (either PA7 or PD7), but the other one is NOT highlighted in blue or black.

Perhaps I am color blind.

*UPDATE* After several tries, I clicked in some special way, and two alternative pins highlighted in black. But I cannot reproduce it again.

@Piranha​ Thanks! That's it. Ctrl/click and hold!
