Jus fooling around with the BGII engine and I discovered something. If you press [ALT] + [TAB] rappidly, all usable objects (swords on ground, doors, etc) are highlighted for a brief moment. anyone else get this? and am i messing around or was this programmed into the game?

AFAIK this much-needed improvement is added to your game if ToB is installed. It wasn't in the original SoA code.

You goobers, you dont have to press alt+tab just make sure the cursor isnt on any objects and press the tab key. Heck, you can even hold it down, and all of the items on the ground as well as doors and openable things like drawers or a chest will be highlighted in a blue color.
