No way to close/exit the game with the mouse only

There is a way to exit the game:

From graphics, enable windowed mode. In UI (under general), make sure "confine mouse to window" isn't selected.

Then you can click the "X" in the top right, or right click the window in the taskbar to close the application.

Logout macro and bind to side mouse button or scroll wheel?

Not me, but I have two escape keys on my keyboard like a maniac.

From reading the forums, if they had fixed this issue there would be a dozen threads like, "hey GGG instead of adding a quit option how about you fix archnemesis". Can't win.

I cannot imagine myself using a keyboard with ESC key not working. However I do think op has a point here. There is a lot of things that you can do with the mouse alone, like open Options or Friends, so, logout and exit the game should be included.

Even more that seems that ESC key is not "bind-able".

And, close with Alt+F4 seems a way around, but it is not exactly good. Also, maybe he just wants to change char, in this case he need to close the game and open it again.

Poe forum users are an odd bunch.
"what if my keyboard dies"
A million people reply to "Hit alt + f4" where are those on his mouse?
