mlsker Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I am making a request about this since some patches alredy arrived and they still didnt fix the problem with the keybind " \ ". I am very frustrated with the fact that i press the key so many times by mistake and also that it doenst only open a normal window, but it opens the bug report window and that you gotta click with the mouse to close it. Not just that, but i like to think that it is not just me that uses the " \ " key for something else (in my case i use it for skills) it really bother me that i cant bind it to something else. Who is with me? Edited January 19, 2012 by Paralassa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiennen Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) really annoying when trying to chat and hitting the "\" key by mistake. tried to unbind it in the keybindings menu, but couldnt, even when i set a DIFFERENT bind to it.

Makar Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Agreed, very annoying when you're hastily typing in PVP, only to get screen spammed from the game at critical moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrosnwbrdr Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Not to sound like a tool... But how do you hit this by mistake? I just looked at a keyboard and thought how? Maybe it is my small hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfabulous Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 he doesnt mean the numberpad one. right above the return key. also you can spam ESC to get out of it, I just removed the button all together for my keyboard because its bs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TItanten Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Not to sound like a tool... But how do you hit this by mistake? I just looked at a keyboard and thought how? Maybe it is my small hands? It's right above the enter button. It's really really easy to pull your right hand off the mouse to type and miss your home key (j) and end up hitting it by accident. It's incredibly annoying, especially since you have to click to get rid of the screen that pops up.

Knewt Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Stop hard coding key binds and then pretend we can change it. Edited January 19, 2012 by Paralassa /signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly hit it pressing enter, I don't have bid hands, but my pinky can reliably hit that if I'm not paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToliverGrey Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Given the other problems in this game, this one is about priority number 1 million. It's just not an issue if you don't flail around the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ildurnest Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Easy fix: pluck out the key from the keyboard. Worked for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemsonalum Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Also hitting escape about 3 or so times will get rid of the bug report window. You dont actually have to click it. I agree this needs to be fixed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimakaze Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Not to sound like a tool... But how do you hit this by mistake? I just looked at a keyboard and thought how? Maybe it is my small hands? Most of the time it's when I'm in the middle of typing something in chat, and then suddenly I need to divert my attention to something else in the game world, e.g. fight an imp who's advancing my way. I hit backspace to erase what I was typing, but accidentally press the \ key due to close proximity. If I remember correctly, it takes three mouse clicks to dismiss the resulting bug report windows (one to click the close button, one to click Yes to confirm cancelling the bug report, and another click to close the Help dialog). Very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashirae Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I always have this issue, usually at the worst times. And I can key 100 words per minute..has nothing to do with being a bad typist. It's just a bad key to bind to something that you may only use a couple times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ildurnest Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 And apparently all I see is American's with their keyboard. Believe me, European latin keyboards is MUCH worse. The key is right next to "1" and Tab. You hit it countless times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attaraxia Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) i can't even tell you how many times a day i hit that @(*# key by mistake. Edited January 19, 2012 by Paralassa /signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraylessa Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Please, God, yes! It is SOOOOOOO annoying. I cannot tell you how many times I have accidentally opened that damned thing when trying to do something time-sensitive. And then, of course, you can't just quickly close it. You have to confirm that you want to cancel the ticket first. Please tell me why we need a keybind for this in the first place! And why does it have to be one of those secret keybinds that you can't unbind?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyntric Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yes! This is a game breaking bug! I will cancel if they don't fix this pressing issue!!!! Seriously though I think I've hit the button more times than I care to admit. Very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhak Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) The fact that they don't even allow you to unbind this, and damnit I tried, is absurd. Yes Bioware, I really want a clunky and awkward window popping up every time my finger slides .3' above the "Enter" button, which I am forced to press constantly if I want to engage in dialogue!

Diora Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 well, for the judgmental types out there, i know you must all be perfect typists who never miss the enter or backspace key when typing and trying to fight 4v1 in pvp while eating a sandwich and smoking a cigar, but for us NORMAL people, this is the most annoying thing ever. And for those of us who aren't so normal...like me, well, it IS nearly gamebreaking. Why? I play lefthanded. In every game since before time existed, i bind the \ key to something time-critical, like a taunt or an interrupt. It's force of habit. I hit that key and boom...i'm screwed. Please, i've been submitting this as feedback every week since 3 months into closed beta. please change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
