I love auto trash. It keeps my inventory clean. In fact almost all the entries are set to 0, to immediately remove the item from my inventory. It's brilliant. There's just one problem with this: Your cursor is considered a part of your inventory.

Why is this a problem? Consider grabbing something out of a chest, to use the item temporarily, only to not have the item anymore because it went straight into the trash.
Maybe you want a few extra items than are in your inventory at the time? So you grab a few out of a chest... but because you have more than the limit already in your inventory, you instead trash the ones you just picked up and grab a few out of your inventory.

So my suggestion is to NOT consider the cursor for trash until it is cleared from cursor ("Q").

I would have thought this suggestion would be more popular.

EDIT: I see 0.15 already has this feature. Lovely.
