[Suggestion] Building signals with programming button clicked #694

Closed merni-ns closed 1 month ago

merni-ns commented 1 month ago

When the routefinding restrictions button (gear icon) is clicked, if you click on a tile without any signal, nothing happens.

It would be convenient to be able to place the signal (and maybe instantly open the routefinding restriction window) when the gear icon is active and you click on an empty piece of track. This would remove the need to toggle that icon every time before placing a signal.

Unexpectedly placing a signal (of what type/orientation?) in this case would seem to me to be very surprising.

For convenience, what you can do now is control-click on signals to open the routefinding restriction window. This doesn't require using the specific tool.

Presumably the same type/orientation as would be placed without the gear icon clicked. (In my case, I have the one-way path signal tool activated along with the gear icon).

Thanks, I didn't know about that. That definitely sounds like a better option.
