Frequently, I need a customised upgrade planner or deconstruction planner for a one-off task. Currently, to do this, I need to create a default planner (by clicking on the hotbar button or using Alt-D or Alt-U), then drop that planner into either my inventory or the blueprints window, then right-click the planner to open its menu and customise it as I wish, then save the changes, then left-click the customised planner to pick it up so I can actually use it.
It would be nice if there were a way to directly open the customisation window (e.g. by right-clicking the hotbar button or with Alt-Shift-D/Alt-Shift-U), and when you saved it you would be holding the customised planner in your hand without it having been instantiated as an item at all.

Re: Create customized upgrade/deconstruction planner directly
+1 to this as it compounds with being unable to open the inventory in map mode, making it so that if I want a one-time blueprint/upgrade/decon planner, I need to put it on my hotbar.
Space age finally made me switch from using 3 hotbars to 4 (I want to have that space stuff on hand cause I tinker with space platforms a lot!), but even still, everything there is useful!
I've ended up reserving a slot for 'rotating stuff', that changes on an as-needed basis.
Being able to directly make custom planners and use them as the one-time use that they are would not only be a convenience for its own sake, but would also help ease my hotbar issues (which is basically the inventory when in map mode).

Re: Create customized upgrade/deconstruction planner directly
It took me ages to even discover that you could make custom ones (I only noticed when I saw screenshots of people with them...) so even just telling you how to manually do it in the tooltip for the shurtcut button would be great
