I got some good feedback on twitter when I suggested it, and since I'm already here:

Alt or Ctrl + drag item stack to split items into a number of stacks. Example: I have 100 towers I need to fuel and 120,000 fuel blocks. Instead of dragging 1,200 fuel blocks 100 times with shift + drag, I Alt + drag and type in 100. It then splits the 120,000 fuel blocks into 100 stacks of 1,200.
In cases of uneven amounts, i.e. 120,000 blocks for 99 towers, the leftovers stay with the initial stack, in this case 98 stacks of 1,212 and 1 stack of 1,224.

Forgive me if I'm missing something but Shift + drag doesn't do this?

Edit:derp yeah , I get it now.
Took a moment to engage the brain there .

Yup good idea +1

Shift + Drag lets you split a stack, ie take 200 from 1000. if you wanted 5 stacks of 200, you'd need to do it 5 times. This isn't a major issue until you start getting into needing to do it 30, 40, etc times. The proposal would let you split the stack 5 times, making 5 stacks of 200 with one action instead of 5.

I want this in my life... Might actually make ship fitting faster too if you need to fit say 8 guns you normally need to do a bunch of actions, this might reduce that number to 2. Alt drag ctrl-a "fit to ship (along with the rest of the stuff)" DONE

Why the hell would you want to have multiples stacks of the same item.

If you need to fuel tower, you'll have to put fuel in your ship's cargo, not in a stack.

It's already difficult to have less than 1000 differents stack in the same station. ( after it, impossible to add new items ).

The example is using a freighter to fuel towers, if you have 100 towers to fuel. Instead of dragging out 1000 fuel blocks for each tower, you split them in your cargo hold with one key combination so that each stack is only 1000. When you get to the tower, you just drag that amount into the fuel bay of the tower and warp to the next one.
