Auto select wagon near exits

The change made recently to default the inventory to have wagon selected and remove function active when near exits is really very annoying if fighting immediately. Tonight I entered a dungeon, and went to light my lantern and instead ended up moving it into my wagon. Then I was beset by 3 foes and when I went to switch to my bow, which is usually F6, click on bow, exit - I had another annoying session of unwanted wagon access.

This is why I didn't do this when I originally implemented wagon exit proximity. Please can we revert this change, it's inconsistent and very annoying! Yes it's a couple of clicks when accessing wagon, but that's far better than having a UI screen that acts differently when within 5m of an exit. I'd do it and submit a PR, but I figured that would be rude without posting first.

Well, I hear you, happened to me too.
It's not all bad, it allows you to quickly use oil kept in your wagon; but you have to be very aware of what's going on. I'm ok with a revert on the auto-selection.
For my own usage I'll probably just reenable dungeon exit prompt though.

Great thanks Pango. Appreciate the revert when you get the time.

I wonder if the only thing really confusing here is to change the default action mode.
Do you have any problem with automatically displaying the wagon instead of nothing?

I created a branch if you want to experiment with that:

I think that's the most annoying bit yes. Happy to try the compromise if you want, but I'll need to wait for it to be in a build as i will be away from my PC.
