Would changing any of this be useful for anyone?

    The most annoying thing is throwing away 50 separate things from both of my inventories, and if you guys plan on increasing this, it needs to happen,
    first: take the big box that says send to trash off, its not needed; the small trash can emblem is good enough,

    second: hot key that like Ctrl + shift + click, something to that effect.

    Third: with that extra space from removing that big send to trash box, that adds a place for more room, or passive tech slots.

    Also a hot key for the tech would be great, if more than one cannot or will not be used, a hot key and customization to this will be needed. i find it tedious and unsafe to open my inventory screen and select the tech i need for that ONE instance. you could put it on the right side of the screen as well, to know which ones you have and have selected. Just a thought.

    I like the idea, but like an idiot their is a chance I could click a rare item on accident lol

    I would love the hotkey of ctrl+shift+click, since its a rather complicated keymix instead of like alt click, shift click, etc. I have the trouble of having to throw away too much stuff too.

    It's a good idea, but if you're going to do that then you need to have it so that you can reclaim the last thing you put into the trash. That way if you're just holding down they shift ctrl and clicking everything and you realize you dumped something you didn't want to, you could just grab it back real quick.

    I was thinking the same thing, right now you can grab it back but its like a second you have before its gone :/ that wouldnt be hard to code at all its already in the game, just change the value of that gray bar that moves to not move at all or take 30 seconds maybe.

    Hmm, maybe have a sort of 'trash' inventory window you can open up, and put stuff into? Where stuff gets trashed only after you confirm so? This should allow you to get your rare items back.

    Yes. A way to quickly do this would be nice.

    It would have to go away eventually otherwise you could use the trash as a temporary inventory slot. Just make it take longer, I agree.

    A trash queue: in place of the big Send To Trash marker, there could be another two boxes that simply hold items in them, and as you send more stuff to the trash they get placed in the first space on the left and shuffle all the other stuff to the right

    The actual trash is the rightmost box, like it is now

    How about this: you grab an image of a trashcan and drag and press on other items while holding it, and it won't go back each time you press an item with it, and this way you could quickly remove 10-15 items in several seconds

    I like this idea. Give it the same UI behavior as a chest, so you can quickly shift+click items into it.

    I like that idea, But i think only 1 slot would be needed for that and use the actual trash slot as that second slot and the final slot combined, yes you can use it as 2 more inventory slots, unless you put a invisible timer on the trash emblem, i would only want one because i SO DESPERATELY want passives.

    Similar idea to the hot key, but with one extra step.

    My suggestion is to Ctrl-Shift-Click to delete, but change the icon/pointer to a trash can. That should alleviate issues with mistaken trashes. And to have one "emergency" slot where the last item isn't trashed for 5-10s for the just-in-case.

    Ctrl + shift + click sounds pretty idiot proof.

    THIS should become the new trash shortcut!

    As someone who does large-scale mining operations, I've found myself thinking that there should be a shortcut to auto-trash stuff instead of click-drag-click, click-drag-click, click-drag-click, etc.-etc.-etc.

    If we do not get any of these shortcuts - at least it would be nice to remove that darn useless "cooldown" on the trashcan. I'm quite quick with the mouse and I developed some sort of pet peeve picking up the first item again, that I wanted to trash because I threw away the second item too fast. ^^

    Yeah, but that one is actually a safety measure for if you grabbed the wrong thing like your stack of diamond ore
