Petition: Remove that stupid hotkey for logging out

I've had it a few times that I accidently pressed the wrong key-formation and I got logged out, this is annoying when you're farming or doing a quest, I think it should be removed.

*Oops wrong forum, could a mod please re-move it to the correct forum please thanks!*

1. Press F11.
2. Click "Control Setup".
3. Click "Log Out" in the left menu.
4. Click "F12" in the right menu.
5. Click "Remove".
6. Problem solved!

How do you accidentally hit F12?

It wasn't F12 and other keys aren't bound, but some keyrange near ZXC opened that GW Menu and made me logout :S

And nothing else is bound to exit.

experiment.

press keys until you find out which one is the culpret and reassign something harmless to that key.

next time you accidently hit it the something harmless happens instead of you being gone.

EDIT

did that log out bypass the log out confirm screen?

I had this once, but have been un able to figure out which key it was... maybe it was a combonation of CTRL+something else... Dont know.. but if anyone figures it out, please let me know..

It has only happened once, a long time ago (about 2 months ago) people said i was bull shitting when i said it was around the left side of the keyboard somewhere, but im glad im not the only one this has happened to..

Alt+F4? If so then that works on all progs not only GW :-P.

betcha it was the windows key betwen left ctrl and alt

if you do windows+x its the same as Ctrl+F4 on Win XP...

It's not CTRL-F4 or something because it opened the Guild Wars Menu and it probably selected logout and because I like to work fast I pressed enter so I 'agreed' on the prompting to log out.

It's not the windows button, it didn't close with some windows 'Close' combo.

I think the 2 posts above me got it, but can't say I've experienced that one, myself. However, I have been frustrated a few times by the standard windows minimize and close buttons in the top right of the screen. They're just so close together when you're in a hurry to participate in a mission and answer an IM

oops, simultaneous post, sorry

If it's Alt + F4 (which is the windows close "active" program button which XhiloX mentioned) you would want to change this to see if the GW client could add a feature to disable that function while GW is running.

I remember ffxi had the macro keys with Ctrl + #, or Alt + # and it was very near the alt tab which switch active program... which would kill ffxi due to not allowing any other mode then "full screen" causing a improper log off

they fixed it by disabling alt+tab while running ffxi.
