Straight lines with Conveyor Belt

[Redglyph]

Is there an easy way to draw straight lines when adding conveyor belts? It's very awkward with the mouse, and using the ZQSD keys (on azerty) to move is not very practical.

I didn't see anything in the settings. Usually in layout programs and similar, maintaining a modifier key allows to draw a straight line "project", horizontal of vertical, which allows the user to quickly draw the line to the desired location when releasing the mouse button.

Maybe it's unlocked later?

Click the starting spot, hold a key, and release the key. I think that key is R? It's the belt planner, and it's unlocked instantly.

I see it now. It was originally set to SHIFT LOCK and for some reason that is not working (it's a strange choice of key indeed). When I originally saw it, I tried to understand its functionality and nothing happened, so I gave up on it.

I remapped it to another key and now it's working perfectly. Just what I needed, thanks a lot! :-)
