Description:

This mod adds hotkeys to quickly grab / drop carryable items. Along with a dedicated backpack hotkey.

Intermediate update: 24 Sep

Added mouse functionality. Select nearby items with single click and pick them up with double click. Suggested by Jasdan.

Items in hands will no longer be dropped when you pickup other items. This behavior was more confusing than helpful.

Added new icon options, including a colored icon that matches the character’s skin color.

Other icon improvements: more precise positioning and different offsets for each icon type. Added a small delay and timeout to hide the icon after a while.

A few small fixes.

Update: 9 Sep

New option: "Grab Everything" allows to pickup non-carryable items too. Requested by nurver and V1CeNtE.

The Auto-Equip option has been renamed to Auto-Wear as it now also affects clothing.

Added several icon options to choose from.

Update: 5 Sep

Weapons can now be dropped using the new Weapon hotkey. Depending on the assigned key, it functions on its own or as a modifier to the Drop key.

New option: "Long press to drop". Requested by DogeGoblin.

New option: "Drop attached weapons"

Options are now located in the drop-down panel below the buttons

Added icon that highlights items on the ground

Fixed items not dropping while the player is moving

Additional update:

New option: "Show Icons" to toggle icons on/off. Requested by luca.

New option: "Allow dropping weapons" to drop weapons along with other items without the Weapon key.

Keys pressed with modifiers such as Shift, Ctrl, Alt, when isn’t used by this mod, will be filtered to allow other mods to use it.

Update: 26 Aug

Please, revisit Key Bindings section. All mod settings are now located there. Redundant options was removed. Mod Options isn’t required anymore.

Since the mod now supports more than just bags, it made sense to rename it. However, the Mod ID remaines the same (BION_DropBags) to avoid issues for current users.

Keyboard Controls

It is safe to assign the same key to Grab and Interact actions. In that case, the mod checks for an available interaction and gives it priority if necessary.

The layout is flexible and depends on which actions are bound and which are not. Pay attention to the tooltips for additional keyboard shortcuts.

Here are examples of different configurations and available shortcuts:

1. Combined "Grab and Drop" key only:
