Exit Game button
« on: January 20, 2017, 09:13:43 AM »
Instead of having multiple "QUIT" key presses to get all the way out, any way to have just a "EXIT GAME" in the tower menu?

Two, the old quit and a "Quit to Desktop".

I've found working on terrains it's a time killer to hit multiple quit buttons.

Never in the field of Aces High has the term ALT + F4 been more appropriate.

So the terrain editor can make real time updates to a terrain currently open in the client?

Just because they want to put all that garbage in the way of productivity does not mean I have to adhere to it.

Would be nice it there are two exit options.  1) Exit to arena selection and 2) Exit to desktop.

Then why does Alt F4 generate a confirmation dialog box?. Lets go full up DOS and make exiting by key combination one stop shopping like it should be.

Because previously Alt+F4 was used to haze new and unaware players when asking help related questions.  That's why there is a dialogue box.

Have you ever noticed there is a check box to never show it again?

Alt F4 is a windows standard to close windows.

A standard keyboard shortcut.  Akin to buttons as GUI shortcuts.  Pretty common to have both but since it's a productivity issue...

I am just messing with you guys a bit.

Just relabel the Quit buttons to something like "Thinking about quitting" then "Almost ready to quit" and finally "I'm done, dammit!" and all will be well.
