Try binding a key press to alt+f4...
Personally I'd remove alt+f4 anyway, same with alt+tab the keys would be better off used as in game keys and there are other ways of killing a process and looking at something else... though I do play in windowed mode. 
Besides its alt+<mouse button> not alt+keypress which you can do now to an extent anyway.

Yes, it would be most useful and I'd love it.

Not recently no but yeah thats what I'm thinking about.
With this being QoL thread I'm not going to suggest changing the UI to a fully LUA scriptable UI like WoW....
Oh wait... 
Ah, well, actually, they changed the macro system somewhat 'recently' to something that would probably be doable with the restrictions CoX has.
Button-style macros can use a conditional modifier to specify various things like target type, or modifier key being held. Simplifying it for CoX, a command might look like:
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>/macro name [none] "powexectoggleon Sprint"; [shift] "powexectoggleoff Sprint"</pre><hr />
Trivial, but you get the point.

[/ QUOTE ]This is NOT a QoL improvement but a GAMEPLAY CHANGE.
Rooting is a restriction that is put there INTENTIONALLY by the developers, it isn't there because it's forgotten or bugged.
Please stay on topic or open a new thread about it as it DOESN'T belong in this thread.
Thank you.
Here's one - would be nice to have the teleport bind (lcrtl+lbutton) or some variant of it automatically added when you choose the power. Also for VEAT TP powers!
Might have been mentioned before but it would be nice if when you sort your toons in the character screen, that they stay in that order even if you then go and play on another server.

DEFIANT Rose Bloodthorn 34
VIGILANCE Captain Caledonia 20 - Yeah, I made toons on the French server coz we only had 4 back then (might have to transfer/recreate them on one of the US servers)
..and many more!
QoL improvement I've always wanted.
The ability to toggle aura's on and off, without having to waste a costume slot!

Hi everyone,
So, this is a general call for ideas / suggestions for Quality of Life improvements to the game. What sorts of things would make your life easier while playing CoH?
This thread is for smaller suggestions (eg the extra power trays added recently) and not entire new features.
So ... suggest away!
[/ QUOTE ]Costume creator codes.
Ie. a way to save your character's outfit and scaling so that if you completely screw up the scales or want to reset or make simple adjustments to an outfit you can always reload the code after the changes have been made.
It could also save the height (since that can't be adjusted in the tailor anyway) and body scales as well as the codes for each costume part.
The code itself would just be a set of numbers that associates with the various costume parts and could only be used with the costume creator or Icon screens

An actual clock display, maybe in the navigation box, with a switch to turn it on and off.

an option to make the radar turn with your character, and maybe a bit more detail in the radar.
I would like to see all crafting related badges in their own category in the badge tabs

Do you mean the map?
This a bit of a big one for QoL, but I think it is a QoL suggestion so I've raised this thread from its grave again... Maybe someone's already suggested it but:
Channel colours. Please can we assign our own channel colours? On a per window basis would be really fantastic, but globally would be okay. I have two channels in a window where one of them gets a lot less traffic and it would really be useful to have it come up in a massively different colour.

And another one...
Put a base portal in the Vanguard base in the RWZ.

Umm.. You already can mate... In the chat window, click channel name, choose "Set channel color" from popup menu. Select to preference.

Heh, it's still there.
It seems people like to ask things without checking if they are already there!
How about a system to allow you to see what recent changes have been made to your character, for example, badges gained since last time you logged in (perhaps put an orange glowy border around the badges) or last time (perhaps a different colour border, say... green?) you looked at the list of badges?
Often I'm scrolling through a long text box to see what badge I just got.

Mission Architect 54161 - Michael Mundano, Megan Malloney and the Secret Senate.
Mission Architect 91838 - Constantinople Jones' Family Secret. A One Mission Story arc.
Yeah, good suggestion.
I really should do something about this signature.
Speaking of which, how about some art for those artless badges out there? Yes, Rescuer, I'm looking at you... and all the costume ones... and the others. They look so sad and forlorn... poor things.

When you talk to a contact and they give you a choice of missions it would be handy if the ARC mission text had a little book next to it like an open arc does on you mission window.
I know if you read the text you can normally tell which is the arc mission, but not always. Plus for long term players who've read the stuff many times it'd say time when selecting a mission.
Being able to see who is online in coalition SGs. Open a coalition window from the SG one where you see the names of all Sgs coalitioned to you. Each SG name has a "+" beside it which you can click to expand and see who is online in that SG, along with their level and archetype etc.
That would make it so much easier to see if you are wasting your time in coalition chat saying "Hey is anyone in our coalition online? Can anyone see this? We could use some help forming the Positron TF!" Makes life easier in telling how active those allies of yours are.
Agreed - Coalitions seem a bit daft if you can't see their roster / active player list
