This post is mostly to help me remember. But hopefully others will find it useful too. I'll play a game for a while sometimes. But I can be distracted by new game releases and such. Then it can be a while before i come back to a game I like to play. This time I've gotten a new computer so I had to reinstall Starsector. Hell, I also completely forgot about it for a bit. But i read a comment on youtube and it reminded me.
When playing the game, after a while, it can become a bit tedious transferring items from one storage container to another. Even selling items can get tedious. So I tried to find a way to speed it up. In many apps, and even in a lot of games, devs have added such QoL features. Starsector also has such a QoL feature. But it's hidden and you can't change it by going to Options or anything... uh, that I know of anyway. But it can be done.
:tldr:
Go to:
\Starsector\starsector-core\data\config\settings.json
and change:
"altMouseMoveToMassTransfer":false,
to:
"altMouseMoveToMassTransfer":true,
That's it. Now you just hold Alt in game and point at something in an inventory to move or sell it.
