Is there a way to view all items in the area? It’s quite annoying not being able to, given the size of the map. For example, in my current game, I appear to have set my baseball bat and hemostatic powder down somewhere, and now I can’t find them…

This is probably better suited in the #The Bunker section of the forum…

Yes, press SHIFT+V and if it currently shows all monsters press TAB to switch to the item view.  
It shows all items that are visible to your character closeby.

As for searching multiple overmap tiles, you’ll probably need to search through the save file.
