/shop and item slots

This is a minor thing but while mining it can alleviate some annoyances:

When you use /shop to sell junk blocks, the first item slot used is the quick bar slot.

Like most other people I guess, I find useful to keep a few blocks to make bridges or to repair tools so having to replace said blocks in the quick bar each time you sell, going under 64 items, is annoying.

Explanation:
If you had 74 cobble blocks, 64 in the main inventory and 10 on a quick bar slot, when you sell them the count starts from the quick bar slot and leaving it empty. Since you needed those 10 blocks in the quick slot, you'll have to reassign them from the main inventory.


I don't know if this has something to do with the game code at all, but would it be possible to leave the quick bar slot for last? This way if we have 10 blocks in that slot, they will stay there.

This is partly to do with how the game is coded with the first row of your inventory being the hotbar then going to the top of your main inventory. There are however also those on the other side of this argument who hold the item they wish to sell and therefore your system of taking it from their inventory may be just as annoying to them as it is to you currently.

Unless there is an overwhelming response to this request we aren't going to change this system for the foreseeable future, it's not too hard to just open your inventory and shift click the item you want in your hotbar back there. Or even wait to sell the items once you no longer need them?

I'm aware it's a minor thing  ;)

The problem is mainly that while mining I find myself constantly overwhelmed by cobble yet I still need a few blocks in the hot bar to move around so waiting until I no longer need the items isn't an option.

Anyway, thanks for the answer.
