Is a key to pick things up, a Loot Command?

Most examples of Loot Command seem to be specific actions to generate specific items, not just the general \"Pick up this thing on the ground.\"

Although, there is, emphasis mine:

  • Borderlands: Loot in the form of guns, shields, ammo, health kits, mods and other shiny dood-dads drop on the ground from kills and are found in chests and other places such as a reward for rounds in Mad Moxxi\'s Thunderdome. Mashing the pick-up button in the ensuing multiplayer Loot Drama race is critical.

That just sounds like things found on the ground. On the other hand, the trope is kinda fuzzy, and similar examples are there, like when you have to access the enemy's inventory to loot them, which really isn't any different.

Because oftentimes you can loot stuff just by walking into it. This is when looting has its own command.

[up] - So, that's a "Yes, a button to loot anything at all, is an example of this trope, and just hasn't been mentioned 'cause no one thought of it".

The description might need changing to reflect that?

^ yes, at its core it's that simple. Some games do make their looting system more complex, though.
