Hi,
would it possible to add the function to remove items while tryin to build a blueprint?

Could you explain further what you're asking for? Give an example of when this would be applicable.
Did you mean that items you have in your inventory would be taken to build a blueprint, or what are you asking for?
As it is I believe that if you have a Personal Roboport items will be taken from your inventory to build blueprints, but if you don't you'll have to place a normal roboport and a storage chest (add the items to the storage chest) for it to build the blueprint.

Maybe he means to have them vanish immediately upon placing a blueprint (like when crafting QTYs by hand).

But then, what would happen if you didn't have enough items on you to complete the blue print?
Limiting blueprint placing by what you have on hand would suck. As it is now, you can run and get more stuff if needed due to the 5 min limit.

I think he wants to be able to mine entities (right mouse) while holding a bp.

That happened me also many times that I wanted this, but it makes only sense with small bps.

Correct.
