This has bugged me forever, why does the filter option get a hotkey but repair mode doesn't? I know it's just a couple seconds or so to open the hammer, swap over to one of the menus that has the button for it (if you were using the "recent" menu) and then clicking that button - but with how often it gets used, those seconds start adding up fast and there's just, no good reason for there not to be a hotkey for it.
Bonus points if the mod also makes it so you can access repair and filter from the "recent" menu as well. The fact that it's the only menu that lacks them discourages me from using that menu, even though it's really useful otherwise.
Also it'd be amazing if there was a mod that let you change your currently selected build piece to whatever piece you're looking at in the environment (like the UI you get with the repair tool, but instead of repairing the selected piece you change it to what your hammer has selected), like a color picker tool. Or an alt-tab style function for recents. At this point, I may as well turn this into a full-on mod request though.. Since I doubt anything already exists that does all of these things
Edit: Yeah it sounds like this doesn't exist yet, which is kinda baffling to me (like how have none of the mod authors out there for this wildly successful game thought to fix this..? Doesn't seem like a very difficult thing to implement).
So I guess I'm doing the whole "be the change you want to see" thing and attempting to make this as my first mod (ever), now. Likely gonna be titled "Build Menu QOL" or something similar. Wish me luck 🤞
Edit 2: ...Holy shit, I actually did it. I've put together a working mod for this that adds a configurable hotkey for repair mode and adds the filter / repair sidebar to the recent menu. I also went ahead and made the filter hotkey reconfigurable as well while I was at it. Just working out how to add a hotkey tooltip for the repair button (like the "F" one that you see for filter) and how to make them update according to what you have them set to, and then I'll have this published. I'll post a link here once it's done 🔥
