Control + Shift Question

Is there a way in either Razor or UO to filter what comes up when you use control + shift.
For example I go into someones tower and they have a bunch of cut cloth, when i control+shift the screen is flooded with "Cut Cloth 1 yard" ect.
More recently I was trying to go the a ctf event and someone was in front of the book, so when I hit control+shift there were so many player names that I couldn't see the tab for the book.
Any solutions/advice?

Well, the key combination for control-shift wasn't concieved until Age of Shadows.
Therefore, the only solution I can offer you is to refrain from using the feature, in keeping with the period.

Of course, as I think we can both agree that it is an incredibly useful feature, the advice to just plum give up using it would be a silly one indeed.

Well, there ain't no way to filter say, cloth from always showing up, and from the information in your post, I can only assume that your CTF opponent was banking on that limitation, using the "cloth spam" to prevent you from using the feature.

Sort of like farting to hide cigarette smell.

You can't get rid of it, but by right-clicking the individual windows, you can wave away some of the bum gas.

this is also useful for opening up corpses that otherwise seem impossible to open (2 monster corpses on the same tile facing the same way). in era you could spam double click or last object the multiple corpses to open them, but that doesnt seem to work here

I remember doing that!

I didn't know that ctrl-shift was an AOS thing. I honestly just learned about it on UOSA and assumed that I was living in the dark my whole uo-life.
