  • Pick up contents directly without first equipping the container item or placing it on the ground.
  • For multiple items in a stack, choose how many to pick up: "One", "Half", or "All".
  • Pick up every item inside a container item, or only items selected via right-click.

[*]Unpack One/Half/All

  • Adds "Unpack one" and "Unpack half" alongside "Unpack all" when unpacking items from a carried container.
  • These additional choices appear when a single item stack is selected.

[*]Open and Eat/Drink (Build 42.0-42.19 only)

  • Adds an "Open and Eat/Drink" menu to food and beverage items.
  • Eat or drink immediately after opening the item, with a choice of All, Half, or Quarter.

[*]Retrieve All Ammo

  • Adds a "Retrieve All Ammo" menu to firearm items.
  • Retrieve all ammunition and magazines from the firearm in one operation.

[*]Same-Item Transfer Highlight (Build 42.20)
