Help out a packrat?

How do you guys look for the items that enemies drop once they die? I use the good ol' ALT to highlight the items but after a huge battle with tons of dead bodies, the items get hidden under the bodies and it becomes near impossible to find the items. Since I like to hoard everything with the help of trusty Bag of Holding, I don't like the thought of leaving anything behind if I can help. Is there any useful tricks I don't know about? Also, how long does it take for the items to disappear if they are left on the ground? Is it around the same time as the bodies?

The bodies will disappear first. You can test resting, it might work.

When in doubt, use your cursor.

Bodies tend to disappear if you leave the map and come back. No resting required. In general, bodies will disappear after about 8 hours (game time) and items will start to go after 16-24 hours.
