	* '''Fast entity transfer''' ({{keybinding\|~~Ctrl~~\|~~Left mouse button~~}}) while empty-handed grabs items from an entity without having to open it. When held down, this gathers items from multiple entities by dragging over them with a single stroke. As a general rule of thumb, this grabs everything that an inserter would grab; i.e., the outputs of furnaces and automatic crafting machines, science packs from labs, etc.		* '''Fast entity transfer''' ({{keybinding\|ctrl\|lmb}}) while empty-handed grabs items from an entity without having to open it.

	* '''Fast entity transfer''' ({{keybinding\|~~Ctrl~~\|~~Left mouse button~~}}) fills an entity's inventory or input slots with the item held in the cursor. Holding down the '''Fast entity transfer''' keyboard binding while moving or dragging over multiple entities can be used to stock them with a single motion. As a rule of thumb, this inserts anything that an inserter would put into an entity; for example, you can grab some [[fuel]], hold the '''Fast entity transfer''' keyboard binding, and drag over fuel-burning entities to refuel several of them in one stroke.		* '''Fast entity transfer''' ({{keybinding\|ctrl\|lmb}}) fills an entity's inventory or input slots with the item held in the cursor.

	* '''Toggle filter''' ({{keybinding\|~~Middle mouse button~~}}) sets a filter on an inventory slot. If the slot is empty, the filter can be chosen from a list of all solid items. This works for slots in the player's toolbelt quickbar, car trunks, and cargo wagons. You can use the '''Copy entity settings''' and '''Paste entity settings''' keyboard bindings to copy and paste filters between slots.		* '''Toggle filter''' ({{keybinding\|mmb}}) sets a filter on an inventory slot.
