When you have your bank open, it used to be if you double-tapped an item it would move it to the other section (either from your inventory to your bank or from your bank to your inventory.
this doesn’t work anymore.
I will add that it does work if the item is stackable, and you have some of it’s stack in the other one. So if you have 50 bloodstone dust in your bank, you can double-tap your bloodstone in your inventory to add it to the bank’s stack.
this one action is what made the bank a much more useful storage location than guild vaults and how I justified paying more for more bank storage vs. getting a guild vault (because it’s easier to move things in and out quickly).

as a separate suggestion, I would suggest adding the ability to double-tap to move an item into and out of guild vaults the same way you used to be able to with banks

Just in case someone was going to pull some sort of “you can’t really place that high a value on this ability” stuff, here is a quote regarding item storage I made on May 6th:

also, I find guild banks the least convenient. mostly just that you have to drag everything one-by-one. with the bank, you can double-click everything and it’ll move in there in like 10 seconds. It is literally faster to move 50 items to the bank, go get your alt character, move them to your alt, than it is to move 50 items into a guild bank.
but guild bank is the cheapest… I think that is intentional (cheapest being least convenient and most expensive being most convenient)

kinda relates to: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Bag-slots/first#post3876352
where I outlined the price per space of each storage location.
guild vaults are 42s/space (250 slots)
banks expansions were about 1g80s/space (100 gems cost 9.7g back then)

the ability to move things quickly in and out of the bank really is worth that almost 2g difference per space to me.

For me it doesn’t work, double-clicking on an item in the bank will move it in my inventory but the other way round still nothing happens. I really hope that this is just temporary, I frequently use 7 of my alts to shift around inventories full of weapons, all of which I now have to single-handedly drag and drop into the bank. Suffice to say, these past days have been quite stressful for my mouse hand.

I’ve found (at least on my end) that if I double click a stackable item in my inventory that has a partial stack of that item already in the bank, then it will move that item from my backpack to my bank and merge it into the existing stack.

And I can move any item from my bank to my backpack by double clicking on it.

But if I double click, say, a piece of armor in my backpack, it will not move it into the bank.

If I click a stack of 50 Ancient Wood Logs in my backpack though, and I have a stack of Ancient Wood Logs in my bank, it will move those 50 from my backpack to the bank, into the existing stack (unless it exceeds 250 in the bank, at which point it leaves the excess in my backpack, and then I have to manually move the excess into a new bank slot because double clicking it doesn’t work).

so, another addendum. it seems to work for some things, but not all. sometimes it works going from bank to inventory but not inventory to bank.
I do like that double-clicking iron ore, for example, will add it to iron ore in my bank instead of it being it’s own stack
