Improve ghost belt dragging (i.e. when on limited supply or while crafting)

TL;DR I keep getting frustrated by having a bunch of belts queued up for construction, and trying to place long strips of belts, as the "held item" disappears when belts run out, even when holding Shift for ghost mode. What ? If I'm holding Shift while dragging out a long line of belts th...
