Quick move of items in inventory?
- Quote
by echosa » Post
In Minecraft, I can shift-click items to move them directly into a chest from my inventory, etc. In Minetest, I currently have to manually pick up each item and move it. Is there anything that makes moving items around different inventories easier/faster/better? I'd love it there's built-in ways, but if not, I'll take mod suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

Minetest already has this exact feature. You must be using either a different chest mod or an old version of Minetest. Do you know off hand what version you are using? The above feature was introduced quite a while back, but..

I'm using default:chests with 0.4.15 (that's the latest, I believe). This has never worked for me. I've tried shift-click, option-click, cmd-click, ctrl-click... I'm on OS X, if that makes a difference. How is it supposed to work? Shift click? If so, then this might be part of a larger problem. Shift seems to be sending two keystrokes. For instance, if I type a colon (which is shift-semicolon) in the console, I'll get a space followed by a colon. That space is the extra keystroke.

I can confirm these longstanding macOS issues.
• The sneak button is bound to "Left Shift" out of the box. But there's only "Shift" on a Mac, so sneaking doesn't work until you change the binding.
• Changing binding doesn't seem to enable shift+click in inventory still however, which leads me to think that the "Left Shift" is hardcoded in the engine for that action, since it doesn't follow suit.

Jeez, you're right. Another hardcoded key in Minetest. :-(
Minetest has way too many hardcoded keys.

Other shift+clicks in-world works fine once key is rebound however, but perhaps clicks in formspecs are different.

Protector Redo gives you protected chests which have buttons to quickly transfer ALL items to and from player inventory.

I'm really glad I'm not the only one having this issue. Hopefully it gets fixed.
I'll look at Protector Redo, but I'm not really wanting to transfer all items. If the engine could be fixed such that shift-click works on Macs, that would be best.

Also consider that Unified Inventory does not support Shift+ for moving items through inventory.

On my server I have "Get Items" and "Put Items" buttons in the formspecs of most containers. It makes transferring inventory to and from chests, mailboxes, bookshelves, and bones extremely quick. It's esp. helpful for tablet and phone users.

You might also be intrested in my chesttools mod. It has buttons for dropping all your inventory into chests, taking all out of the chests, filtered dropping of items into chests (=drop only items where there's already one inside the chest; good for sorting) and even extends on bags which can be quickly acessed. The mod can be seen in action on Trainwrecktonys server.
A list of my mods can be found here.
