Inventory Peek

Keep your inventory open without it in the way

Mark the inventory windows you use most as hidable. They disappear while you play and come back the instant you hold Alt to use the cursor, exactly where you left them. Leave everything open and still see the world.

How it works

• Every inventory window gets an eye button on its title bar. Click it to make that window hidable; click it again to keep it always visible.
• While you play, a hidable window is invisible and clicks pass straight through it.
• Hold Alt and every hidden window shows at once, ready to use. It is the game's Mouse Control key, so if you rebind that, the mod follows. Other screens that free the cursor leave hidden windows hidden.
• Double press Alt quickly to latch every hidden window on, so you can keep them in view while you play. Double press again to hide them.
• The choice is per window: hiding your backpack's window does not hide another backpack's. It is remembered across sessions, separately for each save.
• A drag that starts while you hold Alt keeps the window up until you let go.
• Find the game's inventory windows hard to read? Turn on OpaqueWindows and every inventory window gets a solid background instead of the see-through one.

Removing it

Nothing is stored in your save, so you can disable or remove it at any time. Every window simply shows again, with the game's own look.

Good to know

• The windows themselves are untouched: they stay open, docked or undocked, exactly as the game has them. Slot hotkeys, sort, dock and close all work as usual, hidden or not. OpaqueWindows only changes each window's background image, and puts it back when you turn it off.
• A hidden docked window keeps its place in the dock, so the dock shows a gap where it is.
• The game's own ` key is different: it closes every window, and you reopen each one by hand.
• Multiplayer: only you need it, not the host or anyone else. It changes your own windows and sends nothing, so it is safe in any mix of players and versions, and nobody else sees your hidden windows. Your choices are kept on your machine for each world you join and come back next time you join it.
