Usually, if the player wants to throw a single item from a stack, they would pick one out and then toss it. However, they can instantly drop a single item by hovering their cursor over it and pressing Q.

If they want to quickly throw an entire stack of items which is not on their hot bar, they can do so by putting their cursor on that stack and pressing crouch + Q.
