Baffled by adding item to inventory
I'm about ready to give up before i've barely started!
Found the knife in the hallway... how annoying can it be to add to the inventory. The tutorial does not convey how it's actually behaving. I can't get the knife into my inventory!! GRRR ARGH!

I'm having the same issue. There's no option to click or drag, and the tutorial instructions don't work.

Following exactly as the tutorial is not working. I've tried switching between using Q\E but that just seems to cancel out the Move. It should be a simple action of: Select Item, Select Slot, Select to Move. End of. Can't see what i'm doing wrong for such a simple operation.

You can drag and drop, but not in the turorial. You have to select the item by pressing enter, then select the word 'move' next to the item with enter, then you can use Q/E to move it

and how can go out oif the tutorial ??? because I can not continue playing
The shame issue :(

Thanks, @Amaranth.
So, when first on the tutorial screen with the knife: ENTER (selects knife), ENTER (selects "Move"), then Q will move it over to the inventory boxes? Once in there, THEN we use A\S\D\W?

Its not a smart way to handle items in the game. Hope they change it on PC atleast

That sounds right yes.

Looks like i'm going to have to quit. It's simply not working.
Following my above assumption, once within the inventory and moving to a blank slot, what then? I have pressed ENTER, 'F'.... nothing happens.
I've tried using the mouse to click "Move" next to the knife, but then other than the Move banner disappearing, nothing happens and using Q to go to the inventory gives no option to place the knife.
What a bad design. I've tried every possible method and i'm pretty stuck here now! Not happy.

Ah another Asmodee Digital release ... and stupid me buyed again ...

So what I did was
1) Hit enter to select the item
2) Hit enter to select "Move" (after the tutorial there will be other options too that you can scroll through)
3) move with Q (mouse works sometimes too)
4) Hit enter to lock in place of the open inventory box.

Don't know why drop and drag was so hard to do, but the above is what works for me.

I managed to fumble my way through this with this approach:

1) Hit enter to select the item
2) Hit enter to select "Move" (or up and down arrows to select other options)
3) Use mouse to click on the inventory slot you want the item to go to
4) Hit enter to lock in place

I think I miss drag and drop more than being able to use arrow keys to move (as a left-hander)!

@gaspodia, I guess your instruction for the above is AFTER you'd done the tutorial for grabbing an item for the first time? (mouse generally doesn't drag and drop on tutorial, according to an earlier post).

I've tried your method, still no luck :-(
