shift-click. It doesn't work in /general. Useful in /trade.

shift-click. You get a dialog asking how many you want. Move (3) of
them to another slot.

Sadly, you can't drag only-3 items (of a stack of 10) to the trade or
auction window, you have to do 2 steps of splitting the stack, first.

This is correct, but note that the chat box has to be open when you
shift-click the item.

you can also /yell (shift click item) for trade - useful in areas with no
trade channel. esp if they are quest related items that you have extra of.
There's somethings in the barrens you can get extra of.

I love using shift-right-click to loot corpses and chests - it grabs
everything in one click. Very useful and time-saving.
