Disabling menu hotkeys

[Zwiebelchen]

Is there a way to edit out the default menu hotkeys like F10 or Alt+Q to open the main menu?

There are a few avenues that might work.

I have seen someone on the Hive made a system that prevents saving a game. It worked by quickly closing the dialog screen related to saving a game. It may work on the menu screen as well. Unfortunately, I cannot find this system anymore on a google search. Perhaps another member knows. If I remember right it was made by TriggerHappy.


Alternatively, you might try to use UI functions to turn off visibility for the menu frame. I don't know if this would prevent initiating the dialog screen alltogether, but it could be interesting to find out.
Looking through Default Names for BlzGetFrameByName the "EscMenuMainPanel" might be the correct frame to turn off.

I haven't yet seen anyone using this method succesfully though.

Upon pressing the button you wish to redirect to the menu, you could then temporarily enable the menu dialog again, and then force a F10 button press.

Ill try temporarily disabling the menu button when a user uses specific OSKeys but Im quite sure that the game menu gets resolved before OSKeys natives so it wouldnt work. But its worth a try. Thanks for the idea.

I tested disabling the menu button on keypress, but as expected, the native is too slow to react.

I've found a file called UI\miscui.txt which contains the hotkeys of the game UI, including Alt+Q... unfortunately, importing a custom UI\miscui.txt doesn't seem to change anything. Any thoughts on why this is?

I'm unable to test it now, but if I remember correctly I managed to break the default menu buttons by registering a frame event to them with native BlzTriggerRegisterFrameEvent takes trigger whichTrigger, framehandle frame, frameeventtype eventId returns event
