I should probably ask the question first, but if there isn't it's a suggestion

Can you lock an item (ie: conveyor level 1) to a slot?
It would be nice to reduce the clicking and to have the particular slots and hotkeys reserved for particular items. It would reduce the amount of mouse movement if I could guarantee that my toolbelt hotkeys were specific items.
It could have a tiny yellow lock against it if locked and if your inventory is out of a particular item then a transparent placeholder. New items that were picked up could not enter a locked slot.
Just an idea...
