Smarter Cursor

Description
Smarter Cursor is a fairly simple mod that tweaks the way smart cursor works with platforms, allowing it to better reflect your intentions when building. No more constantly making stairs when you just want to make a flat bridge, as this mod fixes that issue entirely (while still allowing you to build stairs when you want to). It also improves smart cursor with walls and adds new functionality when placing tiles. The full list of changes are as follows:

1. Widens the area that will place flat platforms for bridging with smart cursor
2. Allows smart cursor to replace cuttable tiles such as grass and vines when placing platforms
3. Allows smart cursor to bridge past non-solid tiles that are one block wide when placing platforms, such as trees and ropes
4. Changes smart cursor to not build beyond platforms when placing walls, instead treating them as solid tiles.
5. Sets the "To Cursor" setting in the options menu to be the default behavoir for placing solid tiles
6. Replaces the "Disabled" setting with a new "Fill" behavoir, where smart cursor will attempt to fill in corners near the cursor with solid tiles

You've likely had a lot of requests for the mod, but would it be possible to add a toggle for the interaction between wall placement and platforms? It is somewhat bothersome when you need to manually place walls behind a spiral staircase you built beforehand.

Question, can we place torches on platforms or planter boxes with the Smarter Cursor(tm)?

it works great, but i mainly use this mod to get rid of the issue of the floaty/laggy cursor. Is there maybe a possibility of still keeping the base terraria cursor while optimizing it in a way that vsync doesnt fuck it up and make it all floaty? Thanks and great job on the mod.

even though the mod is enabnled doesnt always work but i s great wqhen it does

to add further to the prior comment, it seems like the leeway for said minecart track-right-click interaction is aggressively leniant... (I could even click an entire block above the track, and it'd still work)

gonna ask here since this is the closest I've gotten to a qol mod in 1.4.4+ that involves cursor behaviour...

...anyone able to point me to a mod or willing to update this mod with functionality relating to getting on mine cart tracks? I keep accidentally getting on the tracks with every right click I use (right click can be used for alternate attacks), and I sometimes wish I could just lock mine cart mounting to the mount key, yk?
