This idea has been in my head for a while, and I've been meaning to mention it. It might have already been said, but just to make sure.
Whenever you open a chest, I would like there to be an "all in" button. The purpose of this would be to transfer everything from your inventory, to the chest, completely filling it. A lot of times, I have an inventory full of stuff, and it would make things much quicker to just press a button and have everything transferred to the chest. Inventory to Chest, and Chest to Inventory.
This has been suggested . . . probably HUNDREDS of times before. I believe there is a general consensus in favor of it being implemented. Of course, a few questions arise:
How will it handle situations when it doesn't have enough room? Will it just randomly select items and leave some behind, or will it force you to manually dump them in such a case? Will it dump just your backpack or both your backpack and your hot bar? Should this work for just large chests or for little chests as well? Should we include an "All Out" button so you can easily pick everything back up?
Anyway, this would rarely be useful for me at home, because I have multiple chests for all sorts of different things. Probably the only case I would like this is if I go on a mining trip and I end up with tons of excess weight while mining (dirt, gravel, stone, etc.) and I need to dump everything into a chest so I can continue.

I checked. Didn't see anything.
What did you check? The thread up there? Google search? What keywords did you use?
EDIT:
I found two similar ideas posted as threads. The first one is about throwing items with "Q" into a chest, and the second is about a 1 click button to dump everything at once (pretty much your idea). viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14680 viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14984

Don't pick your nose with a pickaxe. Use a shovel.

That's where I got those ideas up there from. It's a long list for sure, but it just takes a bit of clever ctrl+F searching. All I did was search "chest", cycle through the various results, and boom. If you search from something too specific, you most likely won't find anything. Anyway . . .

When the chest becomes full and has no more room, I was going with the idea of randomly selecting items and leaving it behind.
Yeah, this is a tricky one. However, I would be the kind of guy to have a single chest that never has anything in it except what I usually carry with me during the day, so this wouldn't be a problem for me.

Perhaps when the chest doesn't have room, it would take the most common things first? Like, first cobble, then dirt, ect. Maybe you could even choose what it prioritizes?

Please consider! Thank you!
