Let us compile a list of D3 annoyances.

- Alt-tabbing toggles seeing items on the ground. This is a minor beef (and a totally reasonable thing for D3 to do because of how Alt works), but how hard would it to be to make Alt toggle stuff on "keypress up unless TAB or ESC are also selected"? Keep in mind I am not a computertician.

There is a drop down in the settings for how this key works. I have changed it to "push to show for 10 seconds"

when you hit alt, it shows items on the ground for 10 seconds, then they fade away. It's a pretty nice way to set it up.
There is also "push to show" so they only show when you press Alt.

When I set it to push to show for 10 seconds, it also seems to show item labels for 10 seconds after they drop too, so you only rarely have to press the key.
