Stow and Sort

Section 2. Stow: buttons and keys to move items between you and chests, sort, trash and pick up drops. Buttons (Quick stack, Store all, Top up, Sort) sit under the inventory; the trash can sits under the armour readout. With PackPanel, both sit inside its panel.

Moving items

"Nearby" means within Nearby Range of you. Keys work with the inventory open, except Dump.

Setting	Default	Who	Meaning
`Enabled`	on	Server	Master switch for this section.
`Nearby Range`	20 m	Server	Reach of quick stack, top up, dump, route and find (1 to 100).
`Quick Stack Nearby`	on	Server	Quick stack also fills nearby chests, not only the open one. Needed for Dump.
`Quick Stack Key`	Q	Player	Move every stack to chests that already hold that item.
`Store All Key`	G	Player	Move everything that may move into the open chest.
`Take All Key`	Shift + G	Player	Take everything from the open chest.
`Top Up Key`	R	Player	Fill your partial stacks from the open and nearby chests.
`Dump Key`	Left Alt + D	Player	Quick stack to nearby chests without opening the inventory.
`Route Modifier`	Left Ctrl	Player	Ctrl + click a stack: send it to the nearest chest holding that item with room for it, else the open chest, else a chest with the same group or that accepts it. Full chests are passed over.
`Store One Key`	V	Player	Send one of the hovered item to the open chest, or the nearest chest holding it.
`Find Key`	Z	Player	Point to every nearby chest holding the hovered item.
`Button Row Offset`	0	Player	Move the button row up or down, in pixels.
`Trash Can On Stat Column`	on	Player	Off: the trash can joins the button row.
`Main Inventory Rows`	0	Player	Rows these actions use. 0: the game's rows. Set it for mods that add ordinary rows.

When a chest is full, the rest goes to the next nearest chest holding the item; with Ctrl + click, whatever is still left then goes into the open chest. Quick stack, store all and dump leave the hotbar and other mods' slots alone; equipped and favourite items never move.

Favourites, junk and trash

Setting	Default	Who	Meaning
`Favourite Item Key`	F	Player	Mark the hovered kind of item as a favourite: it never moves, is never trashed or salvaged. Over a recipe in the crafting list it makes a favourite recipe (see Crafting and Salvage).
`Favourite Slot Key`	Shift + F	Player	Mark the hovered slot as a favourite: its content stays put.
`Junk Key`	J	Player	Mark the hovered kind of item as junk.
`Destroy Junk Key`	Shift + Delete	Player	Destroy every junk stack you carry.
`Show Favourites`	on	Player	Star on favourites, border on favourite slots, cross on junk.
`Trash Key`	Delete	Player	Destroy the hovered stack.
`Confirm Trash`	off	Player	Ask before destroying.
`Trash Uses Salvage`	off	Player	Trashing a stack salvages it instead when it can.

Drag a stack onto the trash can to destroy it. Shift + click the can for trash mode: every stack you click is destroyed until you let go of Shift.

Sorting and cycling

Setting	Default	Who	Meaning
`Sort Inventory Key`	T	Player	Sort your inventory.
`Sort Container Key`	Y	Player	Sort the open chest.
`Sort Order`	Category	Player	`Category`, `Name`, `Weight`, `Value` or `Amount` (most held first).
`Sort Favourite Items`	on	Player	Off: favourite items keep their cells.
`Auto Sort Containers`	off	Player	Sort a chest when you open it.
`Auto Sort Inventory`	off	Player	Sort your inventory when it opens.
`Cycle Previous Key`	Left Arrow	Player	Open the previous chest around you (within about 4 m).
`Cycle Next Key`	Right Arrow	Player	Open the next chest around you.
`Cycle With Wheel`	on	Player	The mouse wheel over the chest cycles too.

Sorting merges stacks and leaves the hotbar, favourite slots and equipped items in place.

Ground pickup

Chests pick up items dropped around them. Needs Ground Pickup on and pickup: true for the chest in OpenKeep.Stow.yml. A chest already holding the item gets it first, then the one nearest the drop, so a kiln's coal lands in the nearest chest of coal.

Setting	Default	Who	Meaning
`Ground Pickup`	off	Server	Master switch.
`Pickup Range`	2 m	Server	Distance around the chest (1 to 50).
`Pickup Interval`	5 s	Server	Time between sweeps (1 to 120).
`Pickup Delay`	30 s	Server	How long an item lies before it is taken (0 to 3600).
`Pickup Only Held Items`	on	Server	Take only items the chest already holds, plus its `accept:` list.

OpenKeep.Stow.yml
