I love the EE so far, but the console mode (on PC) had a huge advantage: item names can always be shown on the ground.

Can we have an option for that in the keyboard + mouse mode too, so we don't have to hold down ALT all the time? It's nice being able to see all the loot and random ground items all the time.

Thanks!

I use a controller on PC in couch co-op -- I would like the option to make it held rather than a toggle. Adding an option in the game menu to change it to toggle/hold for either control UI would be a nice quality of life change in my opinion. Bug fixes are more important of course, but this is definitely on my wishlist.

There was a mod that did this in the original, though it probably doesn't work anymore. Weird it's an option for the controller but not the keyboard. But should stay as an option.

PLEASE ADD.

WHY IS IT ENABLED FOR CONTROLLER ONLY.

FIRST THING I NOTICED IN THE FIRST 5 MIN OF PLAYING.

Why is it a bad idea? If you don't want it, just don't turn it on.

Just use AutoHotkey to simulate it for you.

here's the scrip I use to do it (my 'show items' key is set to Capslock, you can change that to whatever you want of course):


toggle=0
*CapsLock::
toggle:=!toggle
If Toggle
Send {CapsLock up}
Else
Send {CapsLock down}
Return

Definitely +1 to this, as I'm holding ALT all the time now.

Nice template, for those who are not familiar with Autohotkey. Here is an advanced version.
It uses orignal control so you can still use Alt key for sneak-peak. More over it also use caps-lock control light to show if Alt is pressed or not.

~*CapsLock::
if ( GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T") )
Send {LAlt down}}
else
Send {LAlt up}
return

---------
1. Download Autohotkey
2. Open Notepad.exe
3. Copy&paste the script
4. Save as OriginalSin.ahk <<<- replace txt extension
5. double clic on the file
6. in the right corner of the screen, next to watch you'll a green icon --> it works
7. press CapsLock & enjoy :-]
