Playing Factorio again for the first time in 2 years. Am I crazy or did there used to be a hotkey for opening up the Electric Network Info panel and now there isn't one?
I can pull it up by clicking on a Small electric pole, but I've looked through the Controls menu, and I even used the search for "electric" in it and there's nothing.
Why is there not hotkey for this menu? I'm so confused right now.

Which electric network would the hotkey open? While there's usually just one network, there can be many different ones.
Clicking on a power pole specifies which electric network to inspect, because each power pole can only belong to one network.

That makes a lot of sense. I must be remembering wrong then.

Which is kinda a mess because "Network #6 - 21 cells" doesn't quite tell which one it is or where it is located.
