Osu: Add hold esc for menu in options.

Created on 16 Nov 2018  路  4Comments  路  Source: ppy/osu

I asked some of my friends about this new feature. Most of them said it will be a little bit hard for old players to get used to this behavior. And it might causes note missing(or level fail). If there's a switch in options menu that can enable/disable this feature,it will be better.

The addition of this is to dissuade pausing. We may add hotkeys to quick exit (like quick retry) to alleviate this.

How would you implement that button?
Just a single press quitting the player? Hold to quit? Maybe double tap?

  • A single press to quit is way to easy to hit accidentally (with pause this wasn't that much of an issue because you could continue)
  • Hold to quit is exactly what we're trying to bypass in the first place
  • Double tap seems like a good alternative but it is quite hidden for new/old players, you would have to mention that somewhere specifically

Hold to quit, yes.

I think there needs to have at least one way to instantly stop the current level instead of holding a key.
