Hello again, I would like to ask for the following feature:
Give the player the option to toggle the effect of the “Alt” and “Z” hotkeys, instead of having to keep the button pushed.
My “Auto Show Loot” is set on “Common+” - it’s showing the label of all items. When I’m in a fight, what I really need is to quickly de-activate the showing of all labels, with a single keystroke. At this moment, all I can do is to keep the “Z” key pushed (to remove the white labels only), which is impossible while in a fight (I have to push 1, 2, 3… with my left hand).
Also, when “Auto Show Loot” is set on “Common+”, pushing the Alt key has no effect. It would be much better to make it have the effect of not showing labels. It is also necessary for quickly removing all the labels from the screen because pushing Z only removes the white labels.
This way the users would have much better and faster control over showing the item labels.
It would be great to see this implemented and I’m surprised this functionality doesn’t exist already. I personally like to be able to see & pick up yellows but when items start dropping like crazy in combat it is completely unfeasible to have them cluttering the screen.
As a result I’m forced to enable the Rare+ filter and hold down a button every time I want to pick up a bunch of yellows (which are viable gear to use when levelling or to sell for iron.)
Adding in a toggle option for the ‘Show Item’ hotkeys would be really helpful.
It is possible to use this idea along with a script from Hothotkey, Logitech Gaming Software or other scripting software, so that you can make a key toggle the alt key press (don’t like it on alt though, as alt + other keys cause special Windows behaviors).
But ultimately, an easier solution from the dev’s would be not to show the loot labels while in combat. I assume the issue is that while in combat, seeing a bunch of loot on the ground makes it difficult to target the mobs. If all you’d see was some sparkling loot, but not the label, the problem wouldn’t exist. Once combat is over, you can see it.
I did notice that feature but it’s not a solution the issue being presented here.
The problem being communicated is that it’s currently not possible to hide/show loot without having to hold the key down. As it is now, it’s really clunky to try and pick up a bunch of magic items by holding down the ‘show common+’ key and then repeatedly pressing the ‘pickup item’ key.
