Sorry if something like this has already been suggested, but I couldn't find it.
Normally, when I pick up a new item, I can hold CTRL to compare it to the one I'm already using, and immediately see whether the new thing would be an improvement.
There's a slight nuisance with this as an alchemist, though, which is that when I pick up a new greatsword/two-handed axe, this compares it to the mage staff I am holding. (It tends to come out unfavourably for the staff.) If I want to compare it to the weapon my golem is holding and which I am actually considering replacing, I have to hand the weapon to the golem, then spend a turn switching control. (Or more likely, if the reason I was sorting through weapons is because I was leaving a level, hand the weapon to the golem, completely forget about it, and discover the thing again several dungeons later when it is no longer of any particular use.)
I don't expect the game to be smart enough to know that I am probably not shopping for a strength-40 battleaxe for my magely self, but would it be possible to have a different button to hold for "compare to golem's stuff"?
