Is there a way to queue items to the front of the crafting queue?

Is there a way to queue items to the front of the crafting queue? - Black and white of postmodernist building in geometric shapes and tramway station in cold city

Sometimes, before I have automated a production line, I have a few items in my crafting queue, e.g. a bunch of Science Pack 2. Then I realize I'm missing a few pieces of transport belt.

I'm aware that it's the purpose of the game to automate everything, but is there a key combination or shortcut to push crafting jobs to the front of the crafting queue?



Best Answer

Another option (assuming you're near power) is to just throw down an assembling machine, manually fill it and have it build what you need, then pick it up again.
