Summary0000819: ESC does not close the Hero screen
DescriptionInitially I wanted to report that ESC does not close neither the Hero screen, nor the Hero Exchange screen, but I checked in OH3 and saw that in the meeting screen ESC did nothing. Perhaps NWC coded it as such because pressing ESC by mistake in the Exchange screen would cost you movement points if you want the two heroes to 'meet' again.

Checking the OH3 behavior reminded me of a frustrating thing: the (maybe) thousands of times I closed the Hero Exchange screen, to realize only after I forgot to exchange one creature or one artifact. Of course having the heroes meet again was one solution, but it came with the cost of movement points, which in Multiplayer or Impossible Single Player can have a notable impact.

This is pretty off-topic, but I would just like to raise the 'food for thought' suggestion to discuss if removing the movement cost for Hero meeting would be a gameplay change which would be embraced or bashed by the players. Because if everyone hated that, we could maybe change it, and then ESC to close the Exchange window as well would be a welcomed improvement for easy intuitive playing (at least my default key where my hand jumps to close any windows is ESC).
