ESC Key no longer opens Main Menu
My "ESC" key no longer opens the main Runes of Magic menu.
It started a while back when I was learning to use 'Extra Action Bars' add-on and I accidentally assigned ESC to a new command.
I tired to re-assign/un-assign ESC in the add-on and I tried uninstalling the add-on but the ESC hot-key default didn't come back. I've tried to look at and edit the 'config.ini' but it doesn't seem to save.
I've been getting by using the gear icon in the menu art at the bottom right, but want to return to the full functionality.
How can I get the ESC key to call the main menu again?
Is there another console command that would also open the main menu? (ex like '/menu' or'/open main menu')
Did you bind any keys to action bars?
I had not bound any keys/hot-keys assigned to the extra-action bars. The ESC was only assigned when I tried to 'escape' out of the add-on. >.< I reset/unbound the ESC key in the add-on but the ESC key didn't return to it's normal 'close menu/open main menu' use.
Currently the add-on is still installed but no extra action-bars displayed/active. I didn't bind any other keys to the action bar and only had some pots/food buffs assigned by dragging and dropping them into the action bar.
Found my solution. Summary: just reset key bindings back to default in game. The ESC key returned to calling up the menu as normal and then I had to reset the keys back to my preferences.
Longer version: key commands are recorded in 'bindings' text document which was not set to 'read only'. In that file the 'main menu' was not assigned to any key. If I set to 'main menu = ESC' and launched the game 'menu' was reset to blank by the game but the rest of my key preferences were still there. If I changed 'binding' file properties to 'read only' and launched the game then ESC function came back but I lost all other key bindings to defaults and new key associations would not save after exit. After a complete re-install of version 5.0 (also due to the texture problems) the issue was still not fixed. Seems my key-bindings are saved server side yet if they can't access the 'bindings' file they only use defaults. After almost resigning to murderous-cake-eating despair at my fate some part of my brain unblocked the 'dar' button and I tried the reset keys to default button. Tah-face-palm-dah.
There. Learn from my mistakes and be wise.
