[Feature request] Middle click to close opened window

Post by boksiora »

Hello,

I find it very hard to close the inventory as i have to press escape or Q all the time

It will be good if "Middle mouse click" close opened window or map or inventory

Also when i'm in building mode - middle click can cancel the build so i dont have to press Q or Escape again

PLS DO IT PLS DO IT PLS DO IT

Why is it hard to you to press ESC or Q? Are you left-handed?

Its hard because they don't have the same behavior and i always mistake them

sometimes by mistake i press escape and nothing happens when im in building mode


In other words - Escape does not close building mode

I'm pretty sure you can rebind the 'clear cursor' button to middle mouse click

PLS make `ESC` to cancel building mode in the next patch
