I don't understand why you would want to move your hand all that way to cancel something when you can do it easier without even moving your hand... This isn't even an issue.

as far as i know this "bug fix" only changes the behaviour with things that change the cursor to this kinda "cross" like drop, inject, chronoboost, etc. but you can cancel those things by right-clicking anywhere. so you can still cancel upgrades and all those things with the esc button.

Yep, thats what i'll do when using actions.

Does anyone know whether ESC will still close a chat input box in-game, I use it for that all the time.

You can also just hit "enter" again without having anything typed in.

For one, I can hit Esc on the keyboard without looking away from the screen, while I'd probably need to check where to put my finger if I had to press Z to cancel Graviton (I play in Grid on an Azerty keyobard).
I suppose I could get used to it just like I can press T or W without looking at the keyboard, but currently I'd rather use Esc.

Lol wat?

You already use T and W for most everything else anyway, especially if you are using the grid setup. You can hit any key without looking away from the screen if you practice it enough, so I don't see how using ESR was helpful. Anyway...how could using ESC be useful for anyone using grid?

ESC is a key that's all alone, there's no other keys around it and therefore it's super easy to hit. I do missclick often and suck. As a gold zerg, who uses grid layout my most pressed buttons are T for attack (accidentall R for patrol), ESC for cancel and Y for various updates and injects (accidental SHIFT or X). B is just not in a usual finger movement path, and therefore the chance for me to accidentally hit space is very high, which is disastrous at all times. A button to cancel anything and all action that does not have nearby super large keys which would jank me away from the current position is super useful.

You should all be using right click anyways so it's 10x quicker, so thank blizzard for improving your game...

So you use right click to cancel buildings, upgrades and morphing units? Works super fast?

Press "s". That's what the key is for.

This will sound dickish, but you should probably learn to type so that this is no longer an issue for you. Not only will it help you with SC2, but it'll help you with... typing.

If you need to look at your keyboard to type, then you don't know how to type. My keys don't even have lettering on them.

To cancel buildings/units/upgrades you still can hit escape.
If you want to cancel a COMMAND, such as larvae inject, you werent supposed to be able to use escape, and I dont honestly know why you would ever get used to that (I never even knew you could use escape to stop that... how did you guys figure out that you could?)... hopefully it doesnt effect you much and you can just get used to right clicking/hitting s/hitting h.
