Have you looked to see if this has already been suggested?

yes

While rebuilding a city in Quantum mode, I ran into an issue where I have to click far too much. The stronger the city becomes, the more exhausting it is to manage. One of the problems is constructing multiple buildings of the same type—when you need to place 50–60 houses. Each time, you have to move the cursor to the desired building in the panel and then select a spot for it on the map. And repeat that 50–60 times.

I suggest making it so that after placing one building, the same building is automatically selected again on the cursor. This feature already exists in the main city reconstruction mode, and it would be great to have it in Quantum mode as well.

Selling buildings is especially tedious. You have to click on a building, check the confirmation box, and then press “sell.” When you have 50–60 houses in your city, it becomes very annoying—especially since you have to do it twice a day. As a result, I end up avoiding active city development just to not get exhausted.

Example implementation of the feature:

Yes please!

However, this also carries the risk of accidentally building more than intended, and there's a difference between being in renovation mode and placing new buildings that you first have to acquire.

They should do this on the main city too.

I can hardly imagine how that’s possible.

You don’t have to rebuild the main city twice a day, after all. It’s more important in Quantum mode.

In renovation mode if you miss-click you place an extra copy of a building already present. You can undo the action with no penalty or cost.
In QI if you miss-click you spend resources, that can sabotage your plan using limited resources!

very good idea

It turns out the helper has a similar feature in the settings/other section. Still, such a feature would probably be useful for those who don’t play on PC.
