So I lately found this really handy secret feature which you can use to quickly fill up chests, ovens, etc...

If you put a resource (like an ore) in the quickbar (which you have to do manually, Ctrl wont work for that), then switch to that item and hold Ctrl, it inserts into whatever you click on, up to the size of the stack that's selected.

The bug, which could also be my not understanding of this strange and counter-intuitive but very helpful feature, is that if you have only one item in the stack, it doesn't insert anything.

The feature is not hidden, it is in tips and tricks, you should go through it

When you have one in cursor, you probably want to insert one ...
Btw, when you right control click, it inserts half of the stack, I use this all the time

Now you tell!
How many times have I been splitting stack of items into two stack just to achieve this. Not to mention the fact that for doing this I need to have Inventory Autosorting turned off.

I gues I still have lots to learn
