Shift Click defaults to open container

[captanredbeard]

One really annoying control mechanic I keep trying to do it shift click items into an inventory and it instead moves into my inventory/hotbar instead.

When the inventory and hotbar windows are open, in addition to a container, shift clicking items from the hotbar defaults the destination to the player's inventory, and vice versa. This isn't changed when you also have an inventory like a chest or clay vessel also open, meaning that shift clicking only goes into the vessel if your hotbar is completely full.

 

It's more intuitive to me, and probably many others, that the container you open has greater priority than your own inventory, and therefore shiftclicking targets and free slots inside the container first.

This has bothered me for years.

Another thing is when you first log in, if you open a container before your inventory, and shift-click from the container, it will go to the inventory, making you thing the item vanished. Opening and then closing your inventory stops that. Actually now that I've typed it out, that feels like I should put this on the github bug reporter . ..

Anyways! A container and your hotbar should have priority over the inventory, and it bothers me in having to move everything twice
