How can I place the same building repeatedly?

I would like to place the same building multiple times. For apartments, this is enabled by default, but for other buildings, I have to go through the build menu again.

Some largely undocumented controls that might be useful, taken from here and here.

• Last Constructed Building: \
• Cycle between building variants (e.g. different types of farms): [ and ]
• Rotate camera: Alt + Arrow keys
• Zoom in and out: Page Up and Page Down
• Rotate buildings: < and >
• Demolish: Delete
• Last On-Screen Notification: F2
• Open Almanac: F1
• Road: R
• Select Avatar: Backspace

As a preliminary answer, several buildings are accessible via a keyboard shortcut. For instance, roads can be selected by pressing 'R', garages by 'G'.
