I thought you could. So it would probably be a good idea if you cannot already.

You can't. It's rather annoying actually, you find you can't give that nice new helm to your commander, hit Escape, go back to commander, get to his inventory, then send item back to laboratory, and then go back to inventory to give him back the nice helm... a lot of clicks. Well, at least they are clicks worth doing

Ive learned to experiment before bringing things up. Just like alot of programmers I know, there have been times when it was "I put that in but then forgot I did" here also. I will try to remember when I switch back to my game this morning to see if Ctrl or alt or shift on a click might automatically swap an item.

I'm probably one of the very few who likes the current system of item distribution. Click on current gear, put it in the lab, click on empty space, click on new gear.

It prevents me from actually giving cursed or detrimental items to my pretender if my mouse gets messed up a bit. If you do change the item interface, may I suggest adding a confirmation screen before any cursed item is given to a pretender or other major creature?

"Are you certain you want to equip the cursed knife of the damned on Eternity the Virtue?"

Remember (or learn, if you haven't noticed
) that you can Escape, then decline to save the orders, then go back to the game for a "fresh" turn with no orders saved. This way you can undo undesirable clicks like "Drop item", "Equip hevily cursed item on important Hero", or "Do lots of alchemy the wrong way".
