FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

One things that's been bugging me for some time now is the Crafting Menu and other menus for that matter in regards to closing them. I wonder if there was any plans to add an X (Close) button on the top corner of those menus so they could be closed without taking my hand out of place.

I know a lot of users will say the Esc isn't to far from WASD keys, but I'm left handed; I use the numeric keys as my directional controls with my right. So I have to remove my left hand from the mouse and jump the Esc key to exit.

I could change the keys so the Esc would function with a key on the numeric pad, but the engine won't recognize most of the spare keys on the pad, which is a total bummer.

A close button would be helpful sometimes.

I close the menus by hitting the inventory key and not escape.

that is a problem with unified inventory though.. you press the inventory button again, and it types it in the search box...
