could we get the "Escape" button back ?

Postby Zoram » 21 Feb 2016, 00:52

pressing the Escape key used to deselect whatever unit was selected. Is there a particular reason why this isn't the case anymore ?
(example, I want to send some tac missiles, I change my mind, can't use ESC to get out of the fire order, annoying)

To stop an action, press "S". Unless it is assigned to hotbuilding, your action should stop its process. To deselect a unit, just click anywhere else. I played like that all the time.
Don't complain about that which you aren't willing to change.

just click anywhere else doesn't work when you have pressed the fire toggle on a TML.

The ESC key was logical and practical (why would I need to waste the S key on that ? ).
Maybe there's a good reason it's gone, but I have no idea what that might be.

Right click anywhere else, it's faster than pressing Esc

If you have selected units, left click to deselect them
if you have selected order, right click to deselect it

I always use(d) "S". It stops TML that had not launched yet. So...
