Simple: add new key shortcuts to ease following actions: create structure and create route

• Hold Shift key when placing new planetary structure to place it and leave it available for placing another copy. So while we hold Shift button we are able to spam new structures onto the planet surface.
• Mouse over the factory and press LMB while holding Shift to begin product routing. Click LMB one more time to specify route destination. Similar to how Ctrl key works for making the links. The same could be used for Spaceports to route all available products to the specified factory just in two clicks.
• Make it possible to drag new (unsubmitted) structures across the planet surface using the LMB hold to be able to make correct and nice layouts without the need to redeploy the structure every time I miss something.

Additional improvements worth noting:

• Ctrl+A while mouseover above planetary structure will select all of the structures of the same type (true at least for factories) and will allow to configure them all in several clicks.
• REMOVE AUTO PANEL COLLAPSE WHEN I SWITCH BETWEEN SIMILAR STRUCTURES. While checking factory schematics or routing, I have to do countless clicks to expand that nasty info panel again and again.

Right now I'm in a deep terror only from a single thought that I have to respec my PI empire to another product.


PS: LMB - Left Mouse Button
Replace Shift and any other presented key combinations with the other keys if you like.

Hopefully, CCP will at least have a look at this QOL suggestion and save my hands from tunneling syndrome I could get after all those countless mouse clicks and doubleclicks. Whatever.
Thank you.
