UI, misc
Screen Saver
How to manually enter screensaver mode instead of waiting?
When in screensaver mode, hitting weapon quick numbers doesn't break the mode. This also works with crouch.
To turn off UI console: tm
Inventory
When sorting from container to container (you're one too), click on the header (ITEMS or container name) to sort by that item. Saves scrolling through the whole list.Always quicksave before opening a container, in case you accidentally hit E and commingle your inventory with you loot, and it would take a while to sort it back around again.
