Subject: [PATCH] Splits taking out the ID card and stored item out of modular
 computers into Alt clicking and Ctrl clicking respectively (#21901)

Changes:
> - rscadd: "Alt clicking a modular computer to first get the stored
card and then the item has been split to Alt clicking to get the card,
and Ctrl clicking to get the item."

It always bothered me that to get the pen out of a PDA you needed to
first take out the ID card. Well with this PR you can just Ctrl click it
to get the pen. Really cool.
