Found your second bug very minor though. If your inserter is setup with the offset as showing using shift-n won't cycle the drop position.

Also I will very humbly ask for 1 more hotkey
CTRL-SHIFT-N - to cycle through the 9 available offsets This will allow for the finer grain control without having to open the gui

BTW I have not played vanilla Factorio except for the first few story missions. Bob's Mods is a must have! I might add Angels in with Bob's on my next playthrough but bobs mod stays. Also the change for water mining I was gonna suggest that to you for the next version but when I checked the forum the next day I seen that you had read my mind.

Anyone Else find this mesmerizing?

The hotkey to open the GUI is configurable, if you don't like the default key, you can change it. Options, controls, then click the mods tab.
On that note though, I can change the default to something else.

I could change it to simply open with LMB, but then I'd have to change menu position, and I wasn't sure how to make it close other than adding a button, as I said, new to GUI stuff.
And lables on the GUI? I had thought about it, but haven't figured out how to do it without destroying the layout yet.

function on_tick(event)
	if global.ticks == 0 then
		global.ticks = 16
		
		-- look for an opened display interface
			for _, player in pairs(game.players) do
				if player.connected then
					local opened = player.opened
					local record_previous = false
					local open_new = false
					local display = global.player_cur_display[player.index]
					
					if opened ~= nil and opened.valid and opened.name == "smart-display" then
						-- player has an open display : open the gui
						open_new = true

						if display ~= nil and display.entity == opened then
							-- do not reopen the gui if same display
							open_new = false
						else
							record_previous = true
						end
					else
						if display ~= nil then record_previous = true end
					end
					
					local guif = nil

					if record_previous then
						if display ~= nil then
							-- record previous opened printer
							-- debug_print( "display closed " , display.n_display )
							guif = player.gui.left.frame_smadisp
							if guif ~= nil then
								display.prefix = guif.flow_smadisp.flow_prefix.textfield_prefix.text
								display.suffix = guif.flow_smadisp.flow_suffix.textfield_suffix.text
							end
							global.player_cur_display[player.index] = nil
						end
					end
					
					if open_new then
						-- open new opened printer
						display = find_display( opened )
						
						if display ~= nil then
							-- debug_print( "display opened " .. display.n_display )
							global.player_cur_display[player.index] = display
							guif = show_menu_display( player, display )
						end
					else
						if guif ~= nil then guif.destroy() end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	else
		global.ticks = global.ticks - 1
	end
end

script.on_event(defines.events.on_tick, on_tick)

Editing range, well, I suppose I could grab the player.character.position too, and compare it with the inserter's position to see if you're "close" to it. It would be a bit of a re-write though.

Cycle through all inserter offsets with another hotkey... maybe. There's actually a lot you can't currently do to the drop position with hotkeys.

no cycle with shift + N when side offset... I'll take a look again, I think I only added an offset check for x = 0, y = 0, then reset it, I guess I need to check which direction is most prominant (X or Y), then reset just that direction if it's 0.

There is. Shift + N, but you have to research Near Inserters first before you can do it.
It only does near/far though, not side offsets, to get those, as well as output rotation, you need to use the GUI.

Thats confusing then - it states that it changed drop locaation and would switch drop from short to long for me.
I guess with near research it will also use near/far variants - good to know

Do you have a plan to make this mod potentially remove some of inserters from logistics mod when present (to clean up the crafting menu a bit)?
