For use in spacing things out properly across distances, have two keybinds that will lock either the X or Y coordinate of the mouse respectively while held.

… I usually don't move the mouse but run via WASD to get the same effect …

Say you need to hook up a pipe 200 tiles away. If you want to "run with it" you'd need to run 200 tiles, then run 200 tiles back while building along the way. With this you can build straight there.

You know that WASD also works in map view where you can place ghosts, right? A single pipe ghost would be enough to get the positioning right so you can start building right where you are.
