Make mod-right-click toggle selection status of fuel tanks


Recommended Posts

I've searched this forum to see if this idea has been previously suggested without finding it.

We've all had the experience while transferring fuel in flight where we mod-right-click the wrong tank. We then have to start the selection process over again which can involve changing camera angles, gnashing teeth, and maybe uttering a few profanities. Perhaps having mod-right-click simply toggle the selection status of a tank would make resource transfer a bit easier. You've selected the wrong tank? Mod-right-click again to deselect it and Bob's your uncle! (I've been wanting to use that expression for ages!) Does anyone else think this would improve the user interface?

The item in the top right corner looks suspiciously like a deselect tool.

What devnote was that from?  I must have missed it.

Yes, it definitely would!

Unfortunately 1.1.x didn't take your suggestion into account, new button does not toggle selection.
