Hotkeys for plank and beam building

  • Hi!
    Long time user of the game, admin on Artisans Realm.


    I have an issue with some of the hotkeys used in plank and beam building. When I use modular to snap an object, then press right control to freeze it in place, then unsnap it, then press and hold right control while using the arrow keys to change the angle, I could originally change the angle of the object from it's frozen position, relative to the object it was snapped to. That way I could go all the way around the hub and change the angle of every element on a wheel, rather than manually changing the angle of each object and placing it at the end of each object in the hub.


    This technique doesn't work anymore, at least not consistently.


    Firstly,
    I have had to switch the enter key to the P key because while chatting, objects would randomly enter and exit modular mode. Incidentally, the same is true for using the leveler in terraforming mode.


    Second,
    rather than freezing in position and allowing me to ctrl arrow the object from that point, pressing ctrl only results in the object exiting freeze mode, and reverting back to the default position for the object. Holding rt ctrl does not allow for pressing the arrow keys. rt ctrl is only changeable from settings for one of those commands, not both, so separating the hotkey functions is not a solution I can do from my end.


    Lastly, I was told that switching from the object to a tool in hand and back would fix the issue, and it seems to do so only erratically.


    This issue has put all my building on hold, so I'm hoping for a fast solution from someone on the coding end of things. Thank you!
