Fallout isn't as bad at this as other RPGs, since it doesn't have a magic system, scrolls, potions or any of that bloat many fantasy RPGs have. Very straight forward, you got your weapons/ammo, armor, aid and the occasional gadgets, it's only the later entries which focused on crafting that made you pick up random shit in hopes it will do something useful. The trick to not spending a lot of time in your inventory is to create a certain build and sticking to it, chose which weapon classes you will specialize in and ignore everything else. Likewise, same for armor and aid items, only pick up what you chose at the start of the build and keep your inventory clean as much as possible of other crap, make sure to look into what crafting components you need and ignore everything else. Fallout 4 is pretty bad at this since literally every build is incentivized to pick up random garbage off the ground to make mods, do settlement building ect but that's the exception to the rule(there is a perk that lets you highlight which trash items have the components you need so it makes it easy to ignore everything else). Other than using hotkeys, I don't really know how to solve the issue, all you can do is manage your character and their inventory as efficiently as possible and you're rewarded with much less time wasted in inventory screens.
