Ctrl + Click [+]

Describe the feature
In Refined Storage users have the ability to press Ctrl + [+] in JEI and then be presented with the option to start crafting the items from that recipe that they already have a pattern for.
Reasons why it should be considered
This feature makes it so that players don't need a pattern for every single item, and if they don't have everything in stock in their system they can request it more easily versus having to either make a pattern for the final result or going in and finding each item they need individually.
Additional Context
I can't provide screenshots at the moment, but I can try to give an example of this feature in action.
In this scenario I want to create a chest, but do not have any planks in my system. I also don't have a pattern for a chest but I do have a pattern for making planks from logs. If while looking at the chest recipe (8 planks) I press Ctrl + [+] in JEI I will be given the option to start a craft for 8 planks.
I apologize in advance if this is something that's already been requested and denied, or if it's a feature and I'm just an idiot who isn't doing it correctly.
Your response is throwing me off a bit, and this may just be me overthinking. To my understanding, the missing items "feature" is where JEI tells/shows you that a certain item isn't available in an inventory, but it also doesn't let you craft it.
Like this:
While if you do it in a terminal it doesn't give you that notice, nor does it prevent you from attempting the craft.
Like this:
What I was suggesting would be somewhere in the middle. Using the same example above about the chest.
As you can see, my system has 64 logs, a planks pattern, but no chest pattern.
If I were to try and craft a chest, the system alerts me that I don't have enough items (Missing Items Feature?) However, it knows I can autocraft planks and highlights them blue to indicate as much. For my suggestion, that's the important part.
In this system, if I were to click the + no items would be added to the crafting section, because I do not have those readily available. AE2 does the same thing. Where it differs, and where my suggestion begins, is if I hold Ctrl and press +.
As you can see, in RS doing that combo opens up the option for me to craft those missing items that I already have patterns for. This is not a possibility in AE2, at least not that I can tell.
I'm very sorry if this is what you meant by your message, I wasn't 100% sure. I did see someone request the missing items notice in an earlier request, but they just glossed over the auto crafting functionality. I don't necessarily need the system to tell me an item is missing, or even have it prevent me from pressing + if some parts of a recipe are missing, I'd simply like the ability to start a craft of missing items without having to create a pattern for the "main" recipe, if that makes sense.
You can try Not Enough Energistics.
