I formatted my PC a few days ago and now that I re-downloaded my steam library I noticed the Space Bar issue, where I can't close empty containers anymore.
With that in mind I figured that I should give my suggestions regarding this key because I just use it a lot in this game. So beside just fixing it's behavior I would ultra enjoy that the Space Bar key would also do:

  • Close trading panels.
  • Close any other or most of UI elements, like crafting or inventory menu.
  • Act as if I chose the 1st option when I'm reading any dialog.


The problem with the ESC key is that it also open the pause menu, which makes sense, but when I'm closing any UI stuff the last thing I want is to pause the game and then having to press ESC once again to resume, which happens a lot to me.
Now, if we are at least given the opportunity of choice and then choosing to use Space Bar in this situations, nothing unwanted would ever happen, because the Space Bar never open a new screen, it always cancel/close stuff i.e. "End Turn" or the good ol' "Take All".
Moreover, ESC is just too far, when I'm in a dialog, managing inventory or opening the trade menu with an NPC, my hands are *never* closer to ESC or "1" than Space.

So if y'all fellow Larian Studios' devs and players of this community would please consider my humble suggestions, I'd appreciate it immensely. Maybe if you are reading this and you agree with my points, you know, sending a message in this thread might help, what I call "The Space Bar Dream", to come true smile .
If you don't agree that's ok dude, we are allowed to smile .

Thanks for the amazing game, I've been enjoying it ever since the D.E. release. Hopefully any project you guys might have going will succeed and thanks for making this channel of communication between player base and developers, it definitely help to make the game better and better.

Best regards,
Desire.
