Gather all as a right click inventory feature

I was (still) flying to Echelon Station and fiddling with my ship inventory. I realized that it would be very handy to have the ability to right click on something in my linked inventory and have at least one option, which is 'Gather all' or just a 'gather' automatically with a right click.

In this case, as an example, let's say I have a steel plate in a cargo container. I might have steel plate spread out across many, many containers. Open a container where I want to gather all the steel plate to, put a steel plate there (if it's not already there), right click on the plate and select 'Gather all' (or just gather without the menu pulldown'). This then pulls all the steel plate from connected inventory to that cargo. If there isn't enough room, pull as much as you can. Optionally follow the same logic as pulling 10, 100 or 1000 (CTRL and ALT options) along with the right click, which would then 'pull 10, pull 100, or pull 1000'

I voted, but along with this I think we need a way to select content with Ctrl and Shift, like in the menus, to transfer from a container to the other. Transferring stuff is very tedious on the double-clickS and works only sideways.

Also, I cannot make Alt-RightClick to work. It's supposed to move all non-essential items, but nothing happen.

Remapped to Alt-MiddleClick to no avail..

I know mods/scripts will eventually give us better than the slipshod inventory control we have right now, but this seems like it would be useful enough for the basic game.
