Transferring items with a single click
Posted: 29 Sep 2018, 10:45
Dragging and dropping items is only really useful for equipping them or placing them on the ground, but most of the time you just want to move an item between a container and your inventory, and I don't know about you but I find it extremely tedious, especially when you're trying to move a lot of them.
How about adding a key modifier for quickly moving an item between iventory and container ? Alt would work.
An example of how it would work :
[Container open]
- Alt + click on an inventory item moves it to the container
- Alt + click on a container item moves it to the inventory
- Alt + click on an item on the ground or an equipped item moves it to the inventory
[Inventory open only]
- Alt + click on an inventory item equips it (you drink a potion, open the alchemy UI, equip a sword, etc...)
- Alt + click on an item on the ground or an equipped item moves it to the inventory
Ctrl + Alt + click moves only one item (except from the ground, since you can only pick up stacks).
Shift + Alt + click moves a full stack.
Settings can be changed to reverse functionality, so pressing Alt instead allows drag and drop while no key pressed allows quick-transfer. The user can also change Alt to another key.
Shops already disable drag and dropping so no change in functionality there (alt doesn't do anything).
What do you think about it ?
