Easier Item Management

I've always wanted to be able to put large amounts of items into a chest, quickly. How about some new keyboard shortcuts to do this?

O: Pressing this while viewing a chest screen would put every excess item into the chest. Say you had three diamond swords, it would put two in the chest and let you keep the other one. For stackable items, anything over one stack would be considered "excess" and would go into the chest.

I: Pressing this would put the whole row of items you are hovering over into a chest. For example, hover over your hotbar and press I to put it all in the chest.

U: Like the I hotkey, but for columns instead of rows.

Hopefully Mojang adds these shortcuts to make item management much more efficient and easy in the future!

    This is already pretty easy, holding shift and drag-clicking will put everything the mouse goes over into a chest. Also, picking up an item, then holding shift and double-clicking on another stack of the same item will send all items of that type into the chest. There are lots more than this, try them out in creative
