Factoriopedia: Add "Pin" button

Post by Hares »

TL;DR
Factoriopedia should allow pinning currently selected tab, or the entire window, from closing.
What?

THIS button. Screensot from raiguard's Recipe Book
Why?
One common use-case of Factoriopedia-like mods is to put the new recipe somewhere on your screen and use it as a guideline when you building a sub-factory or collecting items you would need. For example, if you want to select combinator signals for optimized belt stacking of scrap recycling output, you will need to select 12 signals in the constant combinator. Remembering every one of them might be tricky.

A side note
Just FYI.
I used a screenshot posted abovr (scrap recycling output) as a reference instead of a Factoriopedia page because it's just easier. But I have two monitors and not everybody do. We need pin button.

Fulgora is the best planet. Vulcanus needs rework. Feel free to prove me wrong.

I prefer this suggestion than the similar one linked at the end. I would use the "pin" , but i'd prefer it opt-in and not the default.
