Changes:

More Sorting Options

Right clicking on "Sort Items" in a chest or right-clicking "Sort Inventory" will open a menu with more sort options.

Content Display

Hovering over a chest shows its contents.

Multiplayer Chests

Multiple players can use a chest at the same time now! (might make duplicated when holding right click on items)

Ownership

You can claim chest ownership. This prevents other players from opening or quick stacking into chests which you own.

Longer Chest Names

This feature is now native in tModLoader! Increased the maximum chest name length from 20 to 80. You can finally write longer chest names!

Searchbar

A search bar to search for items inside a chest quickly. There's also hotkey to focus it. Press Escape to unfocus.

Confirmation Buttons

"Deposit All", "Loot all", "Sort" have a confirmation button now (separately toggleable in the config).

Change Default Sort

Added a Config option to change the functionality of the "Sort Items" button.

Hotkeys

Hotkeys for Deposit All, Loot All, Quick Stack, Restock, Sort Chest and Sort Inventory.

Pings

You can ping items in chests. Pinged items get... - ... highlighted in chests - ... shown in chat - ... displayed on the map - ... and their containing chest outlined To ping an item you have to hold down the ping hotkey (default: Left-Alt, needs to be set first) and right-click the item. The duration of pings and your ping color can be changed in the settings. This feature can also be turned off there. Special Thanks to: direwolf420, darthmorf & jopojelly for a UIElement! Setnour6 for making the icon!
