The hotkey window - K

This window is poorly thought out, many in-game happenings kicks you out of chat - summoning mount, getting a quest, finishing a quest, teleporting etcetc. When chatting and you get kicked out of chat and ever so often happen to type something with the letter K, life sucks.

The window should be designed so that after you have opened the window, you should by default not have anything selected and pressing K a second time should close this window.

Right now after you enter the window you have the roll/flip key selected and continued keypressing leads to a request of changing the roll/flip hotkey.

You know, there's a way of opening a window to change hotkeys such as this. It's temporarily slipped my mind as to which hotkey brings it up. b:avoid

The hot key assignment Azura suggested will fix the annoying window pop associated with chat closure while typing.

However, You do have a good point about the number of actions causing the force close of chat lately. Sys chat in NW being the most evil of them all, so let's focus instead on the actions causing the problem and see if we can get the number of events cut down a bit. Good examples to change are, the pop up for daily attendance, lucid gold/silver, crossing territory boundaries, system chat in NW, ect.

As for mount summoning, and other gameplay actions, the closure is necessary or you would be a sitting duck while typing. This kind should be left alone.

Or opening packs.

I've finally got to the point of setting my hotkey menu to ctrl+shift+f12 (which since I play on a mac is actually fn+f12, I know, don't judge me) Basically the easiest solution is to make it so there's no way you're going to be typing that accidentally. However, that still doesn't resolve the problem that if you're in the middle of typing a sentence you suddenly have bag, cash shop, ui, skills, and a myriad of other windows, they can just be closed with escape though.
