Can I select items from inventory while moving?

Is it intended that while moving with the keyboard (WASD) that I can't select or interact with my inventory? I can do it with the mouse when I click on a location, but can't seem to do it while moving with WASD.

Edit: To specify, I'm moving with WASD, clicking on my inventory, and the game is not registering the click. Mouse is not a touchpad.


No, it is not intended

I just started Don't Starve to double check: I can move around with WASD and meanwhile use my mouse to browse through the inventory. During crafting, you have to stand still (moving cancels the crafting).
