Hangar and Weapons Lab Question

[KGK]

I am trying to build a weapon in the lab. I have enough of the required materials but not all in one "container"
example elec-17, elec-7
When I try to create the weapon, it tells me that I don't have enough.
Is there any way around this? Can containers be combined?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Yes, just consolidate them into one cargo bay before using the material to build.

To consolidate commodity cargo, dock at a station or city and use the ALT key with either the left or right mouse button. Left click to combine matching commodities up to the limit of 25 per cargo bay. Right click to transfer one unit at a time.

It worked. Thanks for the quick response.
Is there a listing for these ALT short cuts?

Thanks Again.

That's pretty much the only Alt key function for the UI itself. Other Alt key functions are available in the key/button configuration menu (the alt functions being listed in parenthesis). Even those generally have an available single key binding option.

OK, I'll take a closer look at the config menu. I've mapped a few to my joystick (TM16000). Those 12 buttons are nice to use.

Thanks
