I scrap those all the time. If anything the most I would say makes sense is being able to "lock" an item so it can't be scrapped, and then leave everything else scrappable.Having a toggle would be nice. Or applied to high value items, such as Blue+ Pick and Guns etc.
this will help the mostIt would be even better if the EQUIP/USE/REPAIR/EAT hotkeys were dedicated instead of switching around per item.
