Stop Auto Explore Once You Pick Up Enough Gold to Afford the

Most Expensive Item on Your Shopping List.

So you spot the +10 PDA of Xom's Love {rF+, rC+, rPois, rElec} in a shop, and put it on your shopping list. You continue adventuring, only to forget about this fantastic item, and only to remember that you could have bought it once you have twice as much gold as you need! Stopping auto-explore once you cross that threshold would be a very nice quality of life improvement.

You can add the shopping list message thing as an explore_stop. This would stop for getting enough gold for any item on your shopping list, of course, but that sounds more useful to me anyway since the most expensive item on your list is not always the one you want the most.

I considered that, but I usually have quiet a bit of shit on my shopping list, and stopping because I can afford the fruits, and then the rations, and then the royal jellies, would be a little annoying.

Adding that to the force more doesn't actually work until the autoexplore stops later on, on it's own. If you have an explore delay you can interrupt travel quickly after the prompt, though.

I said as an explore stop, not as a force_more. I'm too lazy to look up the exact term.

You put food rations on your shopping list? Isn't it just as easy to ctrl+F that kind of stuff when you need it?

Not that that has any bearing on your request, it just struck me as odd.

With food rations specifically it is - just search "food" - but you can have many things that you kind of want but not now, like enchant armour, remove curse, 17th agility, etc. Later on when you have spare money, thinking of everything you might need and ctrl-F for it is much worse than pressing $.
