The "pick up closest item" feature in Path of Exile (PoE) is currently only available on controller devices, where players can press a button to automatically pick up nearby items without needing to click on them individually. This feature is not directly supported for mouse and keyboard controls in the game.
However, there are a few potential workarounds or alternatives you might consider:
Custom Keybinds: PoE allows players to customize their keybindings extensively. You could potentially assign a key or combination of keys to mimic the "pick up closest item" functionality, though it won’t be as seamless as the controller option.
Third-Party Software: Some players use third-party software or macros to automate certain actions in PoE. However, it’s important to note that the use of macros can violate the game’s terms of service and lead to penalties, including bans.
Gamepad Emulation: If you’re open to using a controller alongside your mouse and keyboard setup, you could potentially emulate a gamepad input on your PC and use it to trigger the "pick up closest item" feature. This might require additional software and configuration.
Requesting Feature Implementation: You could also submit a suggestion or feedback to Grinding Gear Games (GGG) requesting the implementation of the "pick up closest item" feature for mouse and keyboard controls. While there’s no guarantee that they’ll implement it, they do take player feedback into consideration when making updates to the game.
Ultimately, while it would be convenient to have the "pick up closest item" functionality available for mouse and keyboard controls, it’s currently not officially supported in PoE. You might need to explore alternative methods or adapt your gameplay style to accommodate for this limitation.
