Description
Add the "Q" shortcut as in Factorio, for conveniently selecting and switching designators. Save your life from multiple clicks in the commands tab.

Details:
  • When you haven't selected anything and no tabs are open, hitting the 'Q' key will trigger a designator for the item your mouse is hovering over.
  • You can cycle through all possible designators by pressing 'Q' repeatedly.
  • If the item is a building or a floor, a 'build copy' command will be activated.
  • If the item your mouse is on already has a designator, using this shortcut will issue a cancel command.
  • You can also customize the 'Q' key to any other key you prefer in the game settings.
  • When using with Designator Shape, you must rebind the Q shortcut in game option or use the second shortcut T. Otherwise, the cycle won't work correctly.

Compatible with all "reversed" designators from vanilla or mods.

FAQ:
  1. Can be safely added to or removed from your save.
  2. It's a tiny QoL mod, so I suppose there are no compatibility issues. Contact me if you find one.

As usual, I don't need donations. You can rate my mod to support me~

Just unbelievably stupidly useful mod, especially designator cycle thing! Thank you so much for it!

I could kiss you for this mod. Another Factorio addict that misses the controls!
Now if only we had ctrl copy and paste!

I'm at 308 mods and this is the most useful one as a former Factorio addict player

Awesome thank you!

@StarlightSovereign Got an inspiration. The latest update allows you to copy floors either.

Okay, yeah that works. Shame it doesn't work on floor! You should probably mention that in the description. It had me scratching my head! Thanks for the mod! :fullstars:c

@StarlightSovereign What's the expected behaviour? For some technical reasons, it can't copy the floor designator. Can you activate it when hovering over other things?
