A way to return to normal long inserters?

[Nalle1949]

I'm playing through my first serious Bobs+Angels session, and I've arrived at long inserters.

I don't have the Adjustable Inserters mod installed. When I research "Long Inserters 1", I only have one way to build a long inserter -- select a "normal" inserter, select the top blue icon, click Enable reach overrides, click Long handed inserter, place the inserter, then uncheck Long handed inserter, then uncheck Enable reach overrides.

Basically I want my fixed, slow, red long inserters back.

I don't like having to check boxes and subsequently having no visual indicator (unless I use alt-mode) to see the reach of an inserter. I also don't want my inserters to default to being long.

Is there any way to configure this? A separate mod? A script?
