[Suggestion] Ability to favorite items

Open ZeekDaGeek opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

The idea

It would be nice if there was a way to favorite specific items in NEI to allow for quicker and easier searching of specific items recipes.

In order to favorite an item an action such as a middle click (changeable in configuration) could be used and the background of item could be a different color or possibly have an outline of some sort around it.

There would be a few ways to potentially implement it:

  1. Page or pages between page 0 and the final pages.
  2. Have all favorited recipes sticky similar to a forum where they all appear at the top of the list.
  3. Have it so the page number can be clicked to toggle between favored and the search terms. (Personally my favorite thought of implementation)

How it would be helpful

At the moment I'm attempting to play through FTB Infinity on Expert mode and a large number of recipes require an additional items or steps before them in order to craft a single item. I constantly have to click through to see the results, often multiple deep, to find out that I need another machine and need to know how to craft that. The ability to keep track of all of the items in the current process without having to press R on each item multiple steps deep would be nice as well as adding a new search term of the machines would be very helpful.

Additionally common items such as Machine Frames which are odd to remember would be nice to favourite seeing as they come up so frequently and searching them every single time is becoming a pain in the butt.
