Hotkey for Set Delivery Point

[rawng]

It would be extremely convenient to be able to place delivery points via hotkey. It could work by either placing the selected production facilities delivery point at the location of the cursor the moment the hotkey is pressed, or enter "Deliver Point Set Mode" which shows a image of the delivery point under your cursor and places it when you click somewhere.

Also useful would be the option to switch between production facilities via hotkey. One way to do this would be to allow production facilities to be placed into control groups. If set up to work as traditional hotkeys, there could be a hotkey to cycle through production facilities, where pressing the assigned hotkey repeatedly would cause selection to switch to the next facility. Alternatively, hotkeys could be provided to allow direct switching to any given production facility (e.x. Alt-1, Alt-2, Alt-3 for Factory 1, Factory 2, Factory 3, etc).

There is actually a hotkey to cycle thru factories, I believe it is F although I have changed my key binding so it may be something different - just have a look in your options to see what it is. The thing I don't like about it is that it centers the view on the factory which can be distracting if you are in a fight as your view gets taken away from the action.

I tend to agree with delivery point, the icon you need to click is just way too small.

Maybe the cycle keys could have a modifier, so if you hold down Shift whilst pressing them, the view doesn't get centred?

So much for my reading comprehension I looked through the list at least 3 times.

About the centering, doesn't control group selection implement a double tap mechanic for centering the screen? That seems like the most intuitive solution to me, but wouldn't work for a cycling hotkey. A modifier to enable/disable centering for the cycling hotkey definitely fixes the issue but the default behavior seems kind of unintuitive to me.

I would like to see the default selection of production facilities not center the screen while holding the modifier causes the screen to be centered. But maybe changing established behavior would be more confusing than effective.
