Escape for Reading - Lockpicking - Sharpening

About this mod

Change the default hold-to-exit mechanic for reading, lockpicking, and sharpening to a simple single press of the Esc key. This addresses the issue of accidentally triggering the exit game menu while attempting to close books or maps.

Features

• Press Esc to close reading interfaces, lockpicking, and sharpening.
• Compatible with all in-game languages without requiring translation.

Configuration

If using other key-changing mods, manually adjust the Data\Libs\Config\defaultActionHelp.xml file. Change the line: <hint text="ui_help_reading_close" action="minigame_exit" order="99" type="Hold" /> to: <hint text="ui_help_reading_close" action="minigame_exit" order="99" />

For lockpicking or sharpening, add the following line to the corresponding sections: <hint text="ui_hud_stop_use" action="minigame_exit" order="99" />
