Single item drop shortcut

[BlackGyver]

Having to manually select one item at a time in the "amount" menu if you want to drop several instances of a single of those items at your feet can take a while, and I was quite bothered by it when it came to fill a bathtub with alien crystals in Fallout 3. Haven't found any mod or easy workaround to that issue, so I wondered if anyone could create a shortcut (I was thinking of a SHIFT+Right click) to drop one single item of a stack each time, I'd really appreciate it !

 

Oh, and if such a mod (or option) already exists, I'd love to be pointed at, I was quite surprised to see it didn't bother players enough to mod this, but I might have looked in the wrong places.

 

Any help appreciated !

It's been a week now, so I'm bumping this thread, and I have some additional information for the future possible modders of this.

 

A kind stranger pinpointed for me the variable at which the items are dropped individually instead of popping up the menu; In the Geck, Settings, it's the iInventoryAskQuantityAt var (set at 5 on default settings), I made a temporary mod to change it, but I still have to manually deactivate it in FOMM every time I wish to revert to default settings.

 

So, my idea would be to change that var (a high number, 50K would probably be enough) whenever I hit Shift+Right click to drop only one item of the stack, and have the default settings (menu popping at a 6+ items stack) whenever I only use Right click.

 

Again, any help appreciated !

 

(And thanks to HosokawaTakuya for finding the var in the first place ;) )

 

Edit: The var can be changed via the console; setgs iInventoryAskQuantityAt X, but for practical and community purposes, a mod would still be helpful !
