In a gathering session we're talking hundreds, even thousands of presses of the R key. Or if I'm out grinding and kill a pack, there'll commonly be a few bits of loot my pets haven't snagged yet. I'll press R and by the time my character bends down to pick it up, my pets are automatically hoovering the loot pile I selected.

Instead of altering pet behavior, could this be shortened to an option of one press of R putting the items in your inventory? Would be a nice quality of life thing, and do wonders for the ergonomics of pressing R over and over for an hour or two while I butcher meat.
