Hi Factorio Team,
Please consider adding the following functionality to the pipette tool (Q):
[in game currently] Pressing Q once puts it 'in hand' for construction. If you don't have the item it makes the error sound and nothing happens.
[added] Double-tapping pipette would build the item. Mashing pipette further would build more at increasingly higher quantities.
[added] if available in the logistic network would put a ghost 'in your hand' for bots to build.
thank you for your consideration

Re: Build from Pipette Tool
There is already a setting (in Interface Settings) to put a ghost in your cursor if you don't have the item instead of beeping at you. Most people play with that turned on once they get robots.
