Disable Ctrl-Shift-W?

[Kallaniden Sands]

I'm not entirely sure how to remove the keyboard shortcut that closes all windows. It's bothersome because I usually engage in combat, and every now and then I will accidentally hit that combination and close out of my minimap. How do I remove this function altogether?

You'd likely need a custom viewer, if you don't know how to edit the appropriate xml files.

I have Firestorm. I looked into the .xml file, but I didn't want to change anything in the event I changed the wrong thing.

You could make a copy of the existing xml file. Then change the original and log in again. If you did it wrong, just delete the original and replace it with the copy you made, and relog.

Will I be able to use Notepad to change it? What is the line I have to edit?

[Phil Deakins]

Any ASCII editor will do. I think that Notepad is a plain ASCII editor. Not sure about Notepad+ though. Whatever editor you use, it must save in plain ASCII.

I have no idea what I'm supposed to look for or change in this though.

Go to your Firestorm install folder, then \skins\default\xui\en & open up the file called menu_viewer.xml in a text editor.
You can use Notepad++

Search the xml for "Close All Windows" to find this block - you may want to disable the "Close Window" shortcut too.

            <menu_item_call
             label="Close Window"
             name="Close Window"
             shortcut="control|W">
                <menu_item_call.on_click
                 function="File.CloseWindow" />
                <menu_item_call.on_enable
                 function="File.EnableCloseWindow" />
            </menu_item_call>
            <menu_item_call
             label="Close All Windows"
             name="Close All Windows"
             shortcut="control|shift|W">
                <menu_item_call.on_click
                 function="File.CloseAllWindows" />
                <menu_item_call.on_enable
                 function="File.EnableCloseAllWindows" />
            </menu_item_call>

Excellent, thank you. Do I just switch W to whatever key I don't hit?

Just delete the whole block if you never want to use that function.

[Kallaniden Sands]

That is super helpful. Thank you guys for the assistance.

Okay, so it stopped working for some reason. I reinstalled the program and did the same thing I did before, but the issue still persists. Why can't LL get it through their heads to make a key command option in preferences?
