Editing Inventory Panel (section)

==Inventory Slots==
The Inventory displays the items, in the form of icons, in the pack you currently have selected.

===Inventory Management===
When you open a pack in your inventory panel, that pack becomes your 'preferred' pack. If you haven't opened a pack, your main backpack is your preferred pack.

When you add an item to your inventory in one of the ways listed below, the item first tries to fit itself into your preferred pack.<br>If it won't fit there, it tries to fit somewhere into your entire inventory space, starting with your main pack and working down until it finds somewhere it can fit.

Stacked items will try to merge into an existing stack if they can in the same fashion.
This behavior applies to most of the default ways that you can add something to your inventory, such as:
* Using the R key on something external to you that can be picked up.
* Using the F key on anything, internal or external.
* Dragging an icon of an external object onto your 3D avatar.
* Making a shortcut to an object that you do not own but can pick up. 
This behavior does not apply to ways of placing an item specifically into a certain pack, such as:
* Dragging an item to a specific pack or place in a pack.
* Dragging an item onto the main backpack button at the bottom right of the UI.

You can also assign a key to the action "Move selected item to main pack". This action is very much like "Move selected item to inventory" (the F key by default), but it ignores whatever pack you have open. There is also a [[Options Panel#Character Options|character option]] that allows you to use your main pack as your preferred pack.

Stacked items can be split using a few methods.
* Use the slider on the [[Selected Target Bar]] to select the amount of items you wish to split off a stack.
* You may also click the text box appearing on the Selected Target Bar and input the exact number you wish to split.
* Using the T key on an item will automatically highlight the text box in the Selected Target Bar, and you may edit the number without having to click on the box to access it.
