TL;DR

Pressing the hotkey for "Drop Item" (default: Z) while in space with an item selected and available it should insert that item, ESPECIALLY MODULES!

WHAT

There is a hotkey in the game, that allows you to drop items on the ground or directly into a machine. That hotkey is called "Drop Item" (default key: Z). It also works on modules, most of the time (maybe it should priotize the module slots generally, but that is another request entirely).
When using that hotkey while not in remote view, it works as expected.
When using it in remote view while on another planets surface it does not work, and arguably, should not work.
But when on a space platform, due to the way the whole logistics system is symultaneously constrained and all-encompassing, it feels like it should work at least a little.
Especially for beacons this would make it much easier to just give machines the correct amount of modules without opening a ton on menus.

WHY

Total convenience, plus I think it is somewhat expected behaviour if you have used Z a lot.
