Is there a hotkey to send items directly to storage? Please for the love of Lucius, help me!

My main complaint of Divinity 1 & 2 is the utterly noxious storage management. How can such a good game have such poor storage options! Both games are so amazing and storage is COMPLETELY NIGHTMARISH!

Anyway, you can shift + left click into wares, but there's no equivalent for sending things into the container you have open at the moment?

I hope there is, because even with it, inventory management is... oof. I'm having a very bad time managing my crafting ingredients, because I have to take EVERYTHING and autosort it, and then put it back to keep the backpack clean. It's like 10 minutes of useless dragging every so often!

The best bet is to put the container into the inventory and just click and drag onto it. You can’t sort it there either though.

I feel like a patch that just gives you a hotkey to send items into the currently opened container - ctrl + left click, I don't care what it is - would be a 100000000% UI/quality of life improvement for Divinity.

How come they're using roughly the same item management as late 1990s/2000s RPGs like Wizardry? Ay mi madre.

But thanks for mentioning that I wasn't dragging the bag into my inventory first, at least that makes stuffing everything back in a little less work. I got so flustered that I completely overlooked doing that.

Yeah, it isn't perfect but it does work better. Makes things mildly less terrible.

I hope they fix this in BG3, they should allow us to sort containers/bags/pouches and label them.

Imagine if you could label a bag for potions, one for scrolls and a barrel for alchemy ingredients and you get a very small icon on the actual container icon in the menu.

Even better if you then pick up a potion or alchemy ingredient that is not in your inventory it automatically gets moved to the container that was prelabled.
