Any way to know the source mod for a specific part?

[Madeiner]

I have Filter extension and community category, but i still can't identify the source of a part at a glance. Isn't there a way to see the part's source, for example in the right click menu? 
The manufacturer is specified there, but it's usually not the mod name, and some mods have multiple manufacturers so it's very confusing to me.

Anything i can install to help with this?

I believe there's no general way to know the mod name of a part ingame. It's very easy to do from your OS though - remember the name of the part and then go to Gamedata and use text search tool, specific to your OS. grep for GNU, findstr for windows (  findstr /sinp /c:"ModdedPartName" C:\Games\KSP\Gamedata* ). It should show you the files that define this part, and the location of those files gives you the mod.

The recent version of Janitor's Closet will hover up a tooltip saying which mod is from when you mouse over a part in the VAB.  It's not 100% accurate in some edge cases, but should do most of the time.
