In vanilla, default settings, you cannot use wires/cables in map view near the player because it conflicts with the click-to-drag feature. If you rebind the 'drag map' keybind to anything other than left-click, you can now use wires/cables in map view.
This becomes particularly apparent with my mod Remote Configuration, which increases the player range when holding wires so that they can use wires anywhere in map view. But it is demonstrably present in vanilla, default settings, so I am reporting it as a bug

As a workaround for this issue, would adding a 'drag_map' checkbox to the permissions list be feasible? Then I could disable it only whilst holding a wire/cable. Currently dragging is allowed even when all permissions are disabled.

+1 because it would be useful to have a proper way of adjusting circuits network anywhere on the map.
Look mom, I made a mod ^^ Barrel Stages

Thanks for the report. In the next release, it should be possible to build with wires in Map view, even if the Drag map and Build bindings conflict.
