[0.14.22-0] Circuit Network: Connect Cable: Key Bindings

[Hathwos]

First of all there is no issue with Circuit Network

There is however an issue with connecting items with circuit cables

Default key bindings works:

- left click is build
> select cable left click on one item, left click on another item = connected

Now try this:

- change build binding with plan binding
- now left click is plan and shift+left click is build
> select cable left click on one item, left... what? nothing happend?!
> .. ooh wait i cant "plan" connections i have to "build" them
> select cable shift+left click on one item, shift+left... what? nothing happend again?!

Got the idea?

To connect cables the "build" command MUST NOT BE SHIFT+left click
Other combinations like control+left click however ARE working

So why is that?

[Rseding91]

Because the default hotkey for disconnect cables is shift + left click.

Indeed, but it only disconnects power line cables, not e.g. red circuit cables

It does both. It first disconnects one then the other.

Ah i see..

So let me rephrase this .. Why can't i click the cable i want to remove but instead have to click the machine / pole and it disconnects ALL the cables (by type) so that i have to reconnect every cable i don't want to remove?

So this topic has evolved from Bug to Feature

It already works that way. If you attempt to connect a red wire between two things that already are connected by red wire it disconnects that red wire. The same for any other wire type.

Then there is no need for cable remove key binding at all?

But indeed mighty need for documentation of functionality what can be done and how can it be achieved
