We all know that when you middle-click with the mouse, it will select whatever material you are mousing over if you have it in your bar.
What I propose is to assist in mining, that is:
When you hold shift+middle click, you will select the appropriate tool from your belt to MINE/HARVEST the moused-over (moused-upon?) material.
So, digging through the lower levels trawling for diamonds, hacking away at the stone, come across some dirt and shift click it to select your shovel, without having to mousewheel to it. It may sound minor, and lazy, but my bar is usually a bit cluttered and it takes me a few seconds to get the right tool. And, lets face it, the original middle click to select the material you are looking at is a bit lazy, so there's a precedent already in place.
I really think this would be an awesome addition. What do you think?
I only play on a network server with a few friends, and basically pure minecraft is the only beast for me.
Think about this, though; automoving and automining are game-breakers, as in they do -all- the work for you. This change would just make mining as equally simple as placing blocks.
Dismissing a suggestion based upon there being a mod for it, telling someone "There is a mod for that" without any other arguments as to why their idea would not work is against the rules.
Throw in selecting the highest damaging weapon when pointed at a mob and you have a deal.

Anyway. Just my two cents.
Sold!
Never knew about this!
Probably cause I've never heard of it and would never use it in terms of how useful it actually is but good suggestion.
