Option to Disable ALT Augmentation Swap (for Crafting)

Just wanted to give some feedback about the new Alt behavior when using Alterations/Augmentations

When I’m crafting, I usually hold Alt while using alterations so I can easily read the mods (prefixes on top, suffixes at the bottom) it helps me avoid mixing up hybrid mods and see discern mods faster

With the new QoL change that swaps to Augments when holding Alt, even if you hold alt before right clicking the alterations, that kinda breaks it. It’d be great if there was an option to disable or toggle this feature or even better change the keybind, for players who craft items like me.

I know a lot of people who read the item name on top for prefixes, so I think a simple toggle/keybind of choice would make everyone happyy!

thank youuu
I LOVE THIS GAME, POE IS AMAZING, LOVE GGG, FANTASTIC UPDATES AS ALWAYS, 10/10 GAME, FUN, BEST GAME EVER, POE2 WILL FIX EVERYTHING IN LIFE

I think I've said enough, can I get maybe a tabula from hillock next league...?

I agree it shouldn't have been put on alt or should be able to be changed, but
you can change the "Show Advanced Item Descriptions" keybind in the mean time.

this is required

why putting the same key that we already use (ALT) to roll alt spam to see prefix/suffix of modifiers tho? I dont understand
this is so annoying
YES PLEASE! Actually game-breaking
i dont even know why we need to press alt to see the tiers etc.
i want a toggle so that i can see them all the time and i don't have to press alt to see it.

Agree, years of pressing to see this when it could be toggled on. The reason I heard for not having it was they don't want to confuse new players with information overload. I don't understand why it can't be a toggle option with default not showing.

I encountered similar issues when playing POE2 with some crafting. Sometimes the item information was locked to one item rather than updating when mousing over multiple items. It is in no way user friendly to have to perform an action between each craft interaction. This seems to be going against a lot of the good QOL changes that are being implemented.

Again, agree with the above comment, surely having information available to be toggled on would allow for having extra functionalities available while crafting without needing the extra button.
