Dismiss Everything

"One Key to close them all"

Had enough of spamming Esc to get out of the Blueprint Library, only to then lose your place in Remote View? Are text fields getting on your nerves?
Escape from every active GUI with one key press.

"Dismiss Everything" is bound to F1, the key immediately right of Esc.

This will not leave Remote View. There is a second keybind which specifically leaves Remote View as well on Shift-Escape.

Confirm (advanced)

Dismiss doesn't confirm changes in GUIs, just like regular Esc.

There is a separate "Confirm-Dismiss" keybind which is designed to run alongside vanilla "Confirm" on its alternate keybind. See the provided image for an example of how to set this up.

Since "Confirm" can only have one alternate bind, you can choose to use either "Confirm-Dismiss" or its variant which leaves Remote View, but not both.

I recommend F2 for this. You will need to unassign "Open character info" which is F2 normally.

Technical notes

It doesn't work in the Pause Menu (mods can't trigger there).

Dismissing "Tips and Tricks" doesn't work in Singleplayer.

Dismissing the Technology GUI (aka Research) doesn't work in Singleplayer, unless you do the following:

• Enter "The Rest" of Settings by clicking "Settings" with Ctrl-Alt-click.
• Change "technology-gui-pauses-game" to be false.

F1 is normally bound to "Open character logistics", which is meaningful if you have "Flat GUI" turned off.
