Windows Deco on terrain

in prefab editor. it seems like the key shortcut for placing deco on tarrain blocks does not work anymore. used to be shift+alt+rmb
ive looked trough the update notes and found that the advanced trader menu is now shift+ctrl+rmb. this used to be the same key shortcut as placing deco on terrain.
has this been changed to somthing else?
would also like to know if these shortcuts are shown somewhere

That entire way of applying decals was deprecated quite awhile ago. Possibly prior to v1.0, but I can't remember for sure.

Those decals are just handled as billboard-style blocks now in the prefab editor. "rubbishDecor01" through "rubbishDecor13".

Similarly, the blood splat decal blocks begin with "bloodDecal01".
 
"Enabled the Prefab Editor “Easy Volume Select” with “Left ALT” by default"
This is a note from the change notes from the 2.0 release
i suspect this might intefere with the earlier mentioned key shortcut for placing decals on terrain.

placing deco on terrain did work before the 2.0 update.
what im wondering is if it does interfere is there any way to change the keybind for this? i have searched trough all the menus and none of the opions can help with this.

As I said, the method you're trying to use was completely deprecated. It no longer exists at all.

If you want to place those decals, you have to use the deco blocks that replaced the old decals. The upshot is that they can be placed anywhere now.

EDIT:
I just looked it up. It was mentioned in the v1.0 patchnotes under "Updated Road Decals." It doesn't really go into detail, but basically TFP improved the textures and converted them into deco blocks.

i understand that there is deco blocks that can be placed anywhere. and i use them often. however the uses is different between the blocks and the terrain decals. and since theyre still in use in most vanilla pois. i feel it was overlooked by the pimps when making the formentioned changes to the key shortcuts.

For those who might read this tread and wonder if there is a workaround. what i have done was making a poi in an earlier version with all the terrain decos on different terrains. and i copy-paste the ones i want into the new pois.
