Toggle Item Labels?

[Chrius]

Alt shows items on the ground, is there a way to toggle this?

No and if youre not careful you can easily miss stuff when you dont press alt

Please for accessibility reasons being able to toggle this would be amazing.

Im waiting for a mod for this, which is dumb as ♥♥♥♥.

i'd also love a mod that lets me zoom out more, why is it so confined?

In the divinity games I got around this by making an auto hotkey script that sets it to toggle. To set it up, first you'll need to download and install "autohotkey." After installing autohotkey create a file called "toggle.ahk" (desktop works fine) and then copy this script into it and save.

; ======================== Begin ===========================
toggleWorldTooltips = Y

; Set your world tooltips key in the BG3 OS options to something other than LAlt.
; I'm using the letter 'y' for example.

; When LAlt is pressed, execute the ToggleWorldTips() function.
$LAlt::ToggleWorldTips()

; Toggle function.
ToggleWorldTips()
{
global toggleWorldTooltips := !toggleWorldTooltips

if (!toggleWorldTooltips)
{
SendInput {y Up}
}
else
{
SendInput {y Down}
}

return
}

; Press NumLock to suspend the script so you can use LAlt normally.
$NumLock:: Suspend
; ========================= End ============================

In game set the key for show item labels to "Y" (or change it to whatever key you want in the script and then set it to that). Note, you'll also need to change the key for "expand tooltip" to something else in game (if you don't want to have to suspend the script every time). I chose to change it to right alt. Finally, run the script and voila, left alt now toggles item labels.

you have to set it yourself, for some reason it's defaulted that alt highlights characters, not items. There's an option in the menu that is unbinded (For whatever reason) that you have to physically bind before it's usable.

No idea why "Highlight my characters" is bound, but not "highlight items"

I got around this by setting a toggle macro on my mouse. If you have any devices that come with configuration software it's pretty easy usually. Otherwise, that autohotkey will do the trick for any device

Thank you so much. As someone with a disability, holding alt would have been a deal breaker.

This absolutely needs to be in the game and tbf, it's been known about for decades in cRPGs
