TL;DR

When hovering over an item in a logistic group a hotkey would instantly disable that item request until clicked again.

What?

With personal logistics I like to set up groups based on building types. Instead to turning off the entire group (HUB: Trains & Player: Infrastructure) I would like to middle click individual items to grey them out. This click should only disable the request without changing any minimums/maximums. Let "Trash Unrequested" remove them if requested.

Why?

I like the idea of setting and forgetting the groups I use for personal logistics, but there are times where I don't need everything in one group. Somethings I only need one thing. Having to set each item to zero and back again; or deleting the item and having to add the item back is a lot of clicks I would like to avoid.

Sorry if this idea has been brought up before. Quick (but poor on my part) search didn't bring up something similar.

You can put the same item in more than one group. If you need belts but not splitters and umdergrounds, just add a new section and put it there. Or do like I do, and have the first group be for items I set individually, and the following sections for things I control as groups.

The caveat being that if you put 50 belts in one group and 50 belts in another group and both are enabled, you'll get 100 belts delivered, not 50.

Maybe add support for dragging items across logistics groups?

I also had this issue switching between normal and legendary sciences. My problem could be solved with an "active science" group and an "inactive science" group and dragging items across them.

So many times I have wanted to do this!

You can pipette to copy entries in logistics groups and circuit conditions, and drop them in another slot. I still haven't really gotten used to it but it's quite useful.

I've been pipette-ing, but it doesn't preserve the numbers. I needed ~1.6k normal science and ~300 legendary so pipette means quite a few keystrokes. Spoilage is even more annoying since I had to click the upper bound first and then type 0.
