A modest UI proposal:

Floodgates appear to use different symbols depending on whether they are wooden or not.

Floodgates use three different letters (x, l or f) depending on the menu (mechanical link menu, construction menu and building menu).

Merging them on one symbol and one letter is a considerable simplification and doesn't affect anything else.

We could, in theory, jut use different color backgrounds.

Agreed.  Man, if I had a nickel for every time I nearly built a cabinet in my canals...  X seems like a good candidate for the universal key since, IIRC, it doesn't mean anything else in the other menus.  The other option is to reassign the cabinets key so that floodgates can have the more intuitive F all to themselves.  (Maybe 'r' for waRdrobe?)

Using "x" for floodgates in general might be best, although it can cause confusions when you want your mason to make a floodgate and accidentally order them to tear down the masonry shop.

There's really little wiggle room in the menus - "z" is the only letter that's used neither by the masonry production options nor by the build commands.("r" is already taken for _installing_ weapon racks.)

This is my grip but with wooden doors.
