Place temporary train stop outside of map mode

Post by DarkShadow44 »

TL;DR
Some way to tell an automatic locomotive to move without entering map mode.
What ?
Currently you can only set a temporary trainstop (ctrl-leftclick) while in zoomed out map mode:

Outside of the map, or if you zoom too far in, you can't place one anymore:

Why ?
In my current world I often want to tell my personal train to go somewhere, I open the map to check where I want to go, zoom in to check if it's really the right place, but then I need to zoom out again to actually tell the train to go there.
Or similar, I enter a train and the target is already on screen, but I still need to open the map to place a temporary trainstop.

Of course, it's only a minor annoyance, but IMHO it would be a small QoL improvement.
