Title. Several times now I found myself suffering for lack of the above functionality. Here’s how I’d like it to work: I can right click an item or several selected items to toggle its “lock” status on and off. Locked items have a little, unobtrusive padlock icon on them. If I select a group of items, some of which are locked and some aren’t, then try to move them into another inventory (including jetissoning them), only the unlocked items move. If I try the same with an item or group that is all locked, I get a confirmation window (don’t move / move / move and unlock). Additionally, locked status should persist on the items, including a locked deployable being launched (which shouldn’t require a confirmation), then later scooped. What would be the purpose of this change? It’s so I can lock my ammunition / MTU / spare modules, and not have to worry about unselecting them every single time I want to empty my inventory at a station. Yes, I know I can use containers, and I do, but those have several drawbacks. Signed, a guy who had to jump back to station for his goddamn MTU one too many times. ---

After some experimenting with it, it does not seem to offer me the functionality I want. Even if I manually set it to hide everything I want to keep - which is far more effort than the two clicks I ask for - I have to enable or disable the filter every time I want to use it. ---

I don’t think asking for the clicks required to do a common task being reduced to a **third** is an unreasonable thing to ask. ---
