When pressing C or X to cancel or deconstruct, stay in same mode

Right now when you press C or X while in a specific viewing mode, such as wiring or piping overlay, the game reverts back to the standard overlay. This is really annoying, causing me to have to mash F2 to back into wiring view to remove stuff. The interface would be much easier and more convienent if it did not do that. For example, if in wiring overlay, pressing X by default should start wiring-only deconstruct mode and stay in the wiring overlay mode. Grr.

It works slightly differently. The overlay is closed because your mouse was in wire construction mode and by entering the cancel or deconstruct mode the construct mode was removed and that closed the overlay. If you just press the right mouse button to exit the construction mode, the overlay will close too. And if you're not in construction mode and enter the overlay, you can press X or C and it won't close.

But that's technicalities.

Yes, it's annoying that the overlay closes all the time. Because during construction, one has to clear/deconstruct all the time. Especially cancel. Laying things down exactly where they should be on first attempt is tricky.

Agreed.  When building with pipes/wires I will frequently double-tap escape, open overlay, and enter deconstruct/cancel mode.  It's muscle memory at this point, but still, it would be a nice change.
