Let's assume that more than one view (Pollution-Turret Range-Recipes-Labels-Robots-Electrical Cables...etc.) is active in the upper right corner of the map view.

If the user wants a new view (example show pipes) to be added to the existing ones, they should left click. (This is already the case)

BUT; if they want to close ALL the other views (example pollution cloud) that are currently open and activate ONE, they should right click. (The Feature I Want)

Why?

Pollution cloud and labels are usually open. Sometimes I need to examine the power line or pipeline. When the pollution cloud is open, the map is very ugly and the things I want to see are tiring for the eyes. It is too tiring to close the pollution cloud or all the others one by one. In this case, the user should right click if they want to switch, and left click if they want to add...

In my experience, pressing Alt disables most of selected overviews.
So the solution seems to be, instead of Right clicking Pipelines, press Alt, then Left click Pipelines.

) there are more than 1k hours online on steam alone... i didn't know that, thanks. But the thing is, since the alt mode is always on, i think it's normal not to notice...
