Close In-Game Windows Using the Esc-key

A simple idea, so I'll keep this post simple as well. My suggestion is to allow in-game windows to be closed by pressing the Escape (Esc) key on your keyboard. EscSuggestion-Key.png

We encounter many in-game windows on a daily basis (see the banner above for common windows), and I think it would be great to have an alternative (and faster) way to close these windows.

One of the most noticeable uses for this update would be banking since it's done most on a daily basis and has an application in many different things in RuneScape - Superheating, Fletching, Herblore, Crafting, and Runecrafting for example. It can be frustrating trying to click the EscSuggestion-X.png at times, especially when trying to get the most out of your skilling or if you're just quickly banking.

Another large improvement would be with PM'ing. If you've ever typed a PM and realized you were about to send it to the wrong friend, or you no longer wanted to say what you had typed, you know it can be frustrating to backspace the whole message. By pressing Esc, you could get rid of your PM without sending it.

 

And all other in-game windows would benefit with ease of use.

Be sure you post it on the official Runescape forums so a J mod can see it too.

Wow, post this on the RSOF at once, it's brilliant!

 

 

 

I can just imagine how much easier this would make things when banking, the little [x] in the corner is just too small to click.

 

 

 

Jagex uses this idea for quickchat so why not the rest of the game windows as well?

Thanks (supporter #10, too)

 

 

 

A Jmod said in the high level forum that it requires some work in the game engine. I think that means they're looking into it.

 

Good to hear.

+ removed the stuff about GE now that RuneTek 5 has done away with the problem.

Can't see the image so I don't know what you are talking about.

 

I'll just support then, seeing that it is a convenience suggestion. :)

It's still there :-P

I meant my computer has a problem with Imageshack. It cannot load images uploaded from Imageshack for some reason.
