Ctrl + left click = place the same firm again

[Black]

I would like to see an option to place the same firm as i placed before (with copied layout, suppliers, and everything). I am playing with 10 cities, and if i want to open 1 store selling the same thing in every city im getting tired of clicking . Just a simple feature but so much helpfull!

imo, it would be the best addition for the game.
to be honest; this is the main reason why l've played the same game for 25+ years just once.
I usually quit after 5-10 years of game time, but that's another story

This has been implemented in latest post-release beta version. You can now hold the [SHIFT] key to build more firms of the same type.

Thank you David and dev team, you guys are doing really good job, and i really like where the game is going with its latest improvements.
I know about the SHIFT key thing, but this is not exactly what this suggestion was about.

I will try to explain it on an example:

Lets say i have 10 cities, and i want to sell Leather Wallet in all of them. I decided to supply all my leather stores from just one warehouse placed in one of the cities. So i place one leather store in first city, create store layout, set the supplier, set my COO to manage, i just set up a store. Currently i have to do the same thing for rest 9 cities.

What im suggesting: When i choose another leather store from menu, and put it on map with ctrl + left click, i want this store to copy all (layout, supplier, manager) from the recent leather store i placed. This way i can place all my chain of leather stores in all cities with 10 ctrl+clicks.

Hope its clear now

thanks
