Wire Shortcuts X

Completely stripped back alternative to Wire Shortcuts and Wire Shortcut Lite, made because neither of them had the exact feature set that I wanted.

Still adds some functionality compared to the inbuilt shortcuts in 2.0 - see table below.

Features

  • A single shortcut button (or Alt + W) that gives you a wire in hand (automatically selects the last wire type used)
  • Press the button again (or Alt + W) to switch between red/green wires
  • Configurable number of shortcut buttons
    • One: Separate copper wire button removed, instead copper wire is added to the wire cycle
    • Two (default): One combined shortcut button for red and green wires, one for only copper wire
    • Three: Each wire has its own shortcut button, Alt + W still cycles between all wires but has no button
  • Individual wire shortcuts inherit the vanilla keybinds (Alt + C, Alt + R, Alt + G by default)
