Really this goes about anywhere, but specifically, at the R&D/vendors when I choose "Known/Available/Unavailable". Either save the preference I select or allow me to change the default views somewhere.

I don't even feel like typing out how incredibly annoying it is to have to re-check "Unavailable" EVERY single time I click on that vendor. Even if it's 5 times in a row. Save vendor, same game session, no intervening movement, other than to the work bench.

Basically this goes for anything/anywhere/anytime. Specifically trainers and my own personal "Powers" ("All Powers") menu. But the R&D specifically entails a lot of look, build, look, buy, build, look, research, look, buy, build, look, research. [Repeat pretty much ad infinitum.] All of that might take 12 seconds except that every single time I "look" I have to re-tell it that I only want to see stuff I can buy.

Incidentally, since we can't see the blueprints we're buying, why do we need to be able to browse 1-300 skill levels down the road by default? We can't see anything other than the title of an item! How does it help me to know that later I can buy something I have no idea what it is? (I don't even know what I'm buying now.)

Also, wouldn't a vendor (i.e., somebody who sells things for a living) default to "Here's what we have available on the menu today?" And not, "Here's a bunch of stuff I won't sell you. Have a nice day."

Of course, if you ever do manage to do this, it would be great if it was all part of exportable saved preferences (esp keybinds) that could be imported to other chars.
