Console QoL Ideas

Hi everyone

Hope you are having a good day.

Here is a list of some of my QoL (Quality of Life) ideas:

-Give us the choice to change the way our items "enter" our backpack. Instead of filling only from top left in a column format, give us the choice of rows and bottom or right, as well. I hate having to constantly play around with my currencies/one box items because they took the entire first column, and now I only have the dreaded last column of empty space and need to reorganize my entire bag on console
-Change the functionality of the L or R sticks to "free flow" in backpacks or Stashes for easier use, just like in the Passives Tree. Give the D-pad the ability to go max left/right/up/down
-Have it so when I press the X button (or A for my Xbox brethren) and my backpack is full to momentarily disable the pickup option so I can cast my spell. I am not trying to pick the white trash from the floor, I am trying to cast my spell and for those that will tell me to just disable picking things up from the options I am tired of having my party members suck up the entirety of loot from the floor and calling it a "skill dif" and I have already changed my spamming skills to Square. I don't want to have to remove an entire button from my roster just to be able to pick up things as soon as they drop.
-Give us some canned answers and responses in conjunction with the ability to write. I am tired of taking 2 minutes just to thank someone.
-When we are within the Quest tab and the Cosmetics tab allow us to change Acts and Pages respectively with L2+R2.
-When we are on the Quest tab, allow us to "free flow" with the R stick
-Allow us to have a quick button for teleporting to our hideout, similar to /hideout for PC users (I know I can use it as a console user too, but my God it is not efficient)
-Make linking an item via whisper a bit less painful. I hate to have to: Go to Social menu->Whisper a friend something random->Open backpack->Open chat->Close chat box->Link item->Close Chat box again->Find the whisper I just sent->Press whisper again->Close chat box third time->Send item
-FIX THE DAMN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RESET. Every time I put new numbers on a currency or something, it resets one to two times deleting all the changes I made having to do it all over again, if not sending the wrong request to begin with.
-Give us the ability to insta-open the buy/sell menu or insta-identify our items by coming close to an NPC and pressing a different button other than X (or the one you have set as default)
-Give us the ability to "cycle" within the backpack/Stash tab, as long as it makes sense. When I go to the rightmost box on my backpack and press right again, have it move to the leftmost box of my backpack or when I go to the bottom box in my stash to take me back to the top. I believe this might not be 100% feasible so I would gladly forget about it if you give us the "free flow" option.

I hope I am not forgetting anything, but these are pretty much most of the ideas I had regarding the QoL changes I would LOVE to see.

The game is already amazing, even if none of these "problems" get fixed (except the currency exchange reset, stop doing that, I have effed up more than once) and I genuinely admire the dedication of the devs on this game.

Hope you had fun reading my ideas, and hope you like most of them.

Have a fantastic day exiles and happy farming!

There is an option in the options to decide if you want X to prioritize pick up or cast a spell btw.
There are 4 things that are essencial.

1. PRICE CHECK ON ITEMS ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
2. The dpad ( touch button in the middle ) to be functional!
3. Keyboard compatibility for console (fast writting like in elder scrolls, final fantasy etc. and other games with the keyboard compatibility)
4. Search Filters for the stash.

That's it.. Most of the things you writted are allready in the game and some of them are not so important..

Like the other guy writted, you can change all the shourtcuts how you please.. Like x to be on the right arrow for example.. idk
