I can't throw out items.

This is a known issue with the mod.
If you search hard enough though, there are modified versions of this mod by other people which fix this bug.

e.g.
There is a modified version a few comments prior to this which allows the player to drop items if not moving.

The version from carbone, packaged as a seperate mod here https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=9638. This allows dropping items at all times, but reduces the collection radius.

I (shameless plug) also have my own version as part of my water_physics modpack https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12722 (criminally bad search optimisation on my part - you can't find it while searching for item_drop through any search) mine also allows dropping items at all times. My version does remove the pretty attraction movement of the items to the player however.

So am I right assuming it won't be fixed in this mod itself? Do I actually need a modified version?

How come when trying to drop with my hotkey "Q" items won't drop?

Found a "cure". When your inventory is full and you need to drop something, you can switch what you need with what you need to drop and click out of the inventory box like normal, and it'll drop. Hence the word cure.
