Is there a reason why alt-f4 doesn't work any more to quit the software? It has always worked and then and then I think somewhere around 1.9 it disappeared. I'm so used to using it all the time so it kinda sucks that it doesn't work anymore. I meant to ask about it earlier, but I forgot. Was there a reason that functionality was removed?

Thanks!

Hey msoultan,

You're right, this should work. Looks like it's a bug we'll need to fix, thanks :) In the meantime you can use ESC to exit Scratch Live.

Thanks - that'd be great if you could get it working again. Not many people know about that combo, but when you use it all the time, it does come in handy...

thanks!

No worries :)

Issue resolved, thread closed.

I was curious if this was ever going to be implemented. I just tried it in the latest beta and it's not working.

thanks!

Hey Mike,

I've checked in with the Dev team and there are currently no plans for this feature to be restored as the ESC key does the same function. Sorry!

ok.. I guess I'll survive... Plus it's one less way to accidentally quit if I got alt-f4 happy :)

I just figured I'd check. thanks!

Exactly! At least there's still one way to exit using the keyboard :)
