\ Narc, speaking of YARM, I was just looking at it and wondering if you could make cursor-clearing immediately finish the current deposit. That could be paired with making the normal timeout much longer (or removing it entirely), useful for oil deposits
\ Rhamphoryncus: I don't know if there's an event for changing the currently-held item, but we could probably do it as a hotkey default-bound to the clear-cursor key?
\ Narc, there is an event, I checked
\ Shiny. Then totally, yeah.

\ And also pair it with feedback on the newly-created field, i.e., give it a specific place in the UI to show what it's found so far and how much (and what its automatic name will be).
\ yeah
Invalidates #5 (no need to show a timer that doesn't exist).
