📋 About This Mod
Keys you find a lot of them! They fill up your inventory making it hard to find that important note you just found, or that interesting holotape. This mod simply puts [ ] around all the key & password names moving them to the bottom of the misc menu. Making important stuff float to the top like cream!
It has no other effect on the game.
UPDATES
I have added some missing keys in the far harbor .esp bringing it up to 1. 1. All others .esp are at 1. 0 as I am unaware of any missing keys in them so they don't need updating. Thank you JunkHeaper for pointing this out. :)I have made a .esp containing all DLC keys in [ ]. So if you have all the DLC you can use this instead of having them separated.
NOTES There are mods like keynuker that move all keys to a submenu. But the keynuker mod makes Fallout some times crash to desktop when trying to play nuka world.
There is also DEF_UI that has an updated version of keynuker that works but that changes a lot other stuff as well.
This is just a little alternative for the people who don't want to use them.
Have Fun :)

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved (228 endorsements) for a niche UI fix

- Solves a real annoyance for inventory hoarders
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so may not be compatible with newer game patches or DLC
