For everyone who has accidently hit the windows key while entering a macro and fucked himself over.

Wait, I thought I heard alt-tabbing disconnected you?

Well, I guess this makes sense, otherwise it'd be a damn cheap copout to save experience.

yes it disconnects YOU, but not your character. Your character stays in the game for about 30 secs, and yes for the purpose of people trying to "save their own ass"

is there a way to set it up so it's only disabled in playonline/ff11? I actually use it a lot.

..on the other hand, all I do now is ff11, so maybe it won't matter as much. I still like it.

yeah for the next 2-3 years you'll have your windows key disabled

seeing that I have a natural keyboard the shape of it makes it easy to hit the windows key. And since I use macros all the time it's not surprising that once in a while I hit it.
