For rocks and flora and fauna.

Furniture too maybe?

I should be able to ID a tree without having to look at its nuts. (Or cones, in some cases)

It's inelegant, but god do I love the shift+ctrl displaying the name of an object/terrain type. If we wanted to incorporate it into vanilla, I'd say maybe there's a short action timer to identify something, then after that using the toggle would show the name immediately. At range of anywhere on the screen.

I use it far too often to want to have it limited to inspection range personally.

Don't hate that, but far from everything has a formal name server side. Would mean some work.
