Verran Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I voted no. I rarely need to do that, and when I do it never crosses my mind. I just kill from the task manager instead. Recently I used it when I played Assassin's Creed, because the game is a classy lady to exit otherwise (first you have to exit the animus, then you have to hit escape again and exit to the main menu, then you have to select your profile and hit continue, and THEN you can finally hit exit to windows...alt-F4 made it a hell of a lot quicker, lol). Good lord, tell me about it. Quitting Assassin's Creed on the PC is seriously like an endurance trial. Someone made a of just how ridiculous it is for those that think we're exaggerating. I just always pulled up the task manager and killed it from there though. Nope, only time I ever even see "alt+F4" is when some jerk on TF2 is telling people to do it. Yup, I learned it that same sort of way back in EverQuest. People would go on the public chat and ask for help on how to do this or that, and someone would write up a real helpful sounding reply telling them to hit Alt-F4. Evil.

WhenKittensATK Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Usually when closing down games I do. Or when I'm in a rush to leave and just Alt+F4 everything. For regular windows and software, I just click the close button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathmineral Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) To be honest... I don't recall it being too bad, then again I never quit a game until I finish it or it locks up so in most cases the only way the game gets closed is through task manager, but when I'm breaking from the game I just minimize it.

Baulten Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I'd expect more people on this forum of all places to use it! I almost always alt-F4. I hate having to go, grab the mouse, run it across the desk till it's over the x, click, then go back to the keyboard. Maybe I'm lazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPETEZx Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I very rarely use Alt-F4. Whats with people saying "too lazy to grab the mouse", what are you doing? Using just apps which use both hands on the keyboard?? When I am at my PC, almost the entire time I have one hand on the mouse. Infact, to use Alf-F4, I would have to reach all the way over to the kb. So yea, what do you guys do at your computers? Surely not browse the web using only kb??

Deathmineral Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Just like PETEZ said, I always keep my right hand on the mouse and my left hand on the keyboard, I didn't actually notice til the other day though that I keep my right hand in the WASD position... guess I game more than I should.

SMeeD Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I only ever use it if a program locks up or my mouse is AFK. Its easy just to press the X. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
