Homerow scrolldown in drop menu

Might just be in trunk, but now there is no easy scrolldown in the drop menu. I think spacebar is the old button for it, but now it toggles an item. I don't want to have to move my hands from the homerow position to see the second half of my items!

Re: Homerow scrolldown in drop menu

Yeah, I find this particularly annoying since spacebar *does* scroll down in the inventory menu, Having different behavior for similar menus is bad, particularly since the drop menu has plenty of keyspace for a non-conflicting key to toggle the current item.

I have dropped my main weapon multiple times because I was unaware that space not only does not scroll, it selects the first item (usually my weapon).
