Distributing items in crafting grid with left mouse button

[heptagonrus]

I noticed I can't evenly distribute items in crafting grid with moving mouse with left mouse pressed, to evenly distribute a stack of items between grid cells, to craft many items at once.

I can use only right button, placing per one item. 

So e.g. to make lot of cobblestone, I have to do lot of circles with right mouse button, placing rocks around the clay stacks.

Or use right-click to divide the stack of rocks.

Please consider supporting the even distribution of items in crafting grid using mouse movement with left button pressed.

Some other comfortable shortcuts and features, allowing easier and quicker crafting, could be nice. But I can't think of anything atm.

I too missed that feature.

Bare in mind the crafting grid I'm told is a temporary solution. The goal is to phase out the crafting grid entirely.

Thankfully, it would still be useful even with grid crafting gone. And I myself find this feature to be lacking
