Presence of Mind - Change

Esc is the catch all button. It'll close the top most interface and if no UI is present, it cancels your current cast time action.

This is no longer the case as of mid Heavensward. The keybind to cancel a cast is the Close All UI Components button. Ironically, it is not the Cancel button. Prior to the patch where this change was made, there was just "Cancel/Close All UI Components". For some reason they decided to separate the functionality. That much is fine; however, they made the bizarre choice to attach the spell cancelation function to the Close All UI Components button instead of the Cancel button.

Cancel (Esc) closes the focused window, cancels chat input, and detargets a target.

Close All UI Components (don't remember the default) closes all windows and cancels spell casting.

They both work, unless they swapped my keybind without my knowing it?

I tested my keybinds before writing that post to make sure. I don't remember how they split it up by default when they implemented the split, so Esc might have been mapped to Close All UI Components by default. I just know that my personal Cancel button is ESC and my Close All UI Components button is ctrl+shift+f9 (I wanted it super out of the way but not disabled), and Esc closes singular windows and detargets things like I expect it to, but it won't cancel a spell while ctrl+shift+f9 does. I can just jump if I want to cancel a spell, so it's more important for me to have the other Cancel functionality on Esc than it is to have it bound to Close All UI Components.
