I Broke Escape Key

I broke my escape key function why trying to change my Key Bindings for the Action Bars. Escape no longer works and my character looks like it is in combat. All of my Characters on all Realms are now useless. I have tried restores from backup, redownloading WOW and nothing works. I am absolutely dead in the water. Cant find a way to use Battlenet support. BTW, WOW Classic is working great, it has no problems.

Have you tried going back to the key binding and resetting the key manualy.

Try restoring you UI. https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/7549

The only way I know how to reset the key bindings is first to punch the escape key to get to the menu.

Isnt there a button to bring up the menu that lets u select interface etc.

Yes, this is one of a dozen things I tried. It did not work for me.

I am really stuck on this issue…

Do you still have your mini menu on screen? You should be able to get to the settings menu where the key binds are by clicking through that with your mouse. Then you should be able to reset your Escape key properly.

This may require you to go back to the stock UI if you are using a custom one (like ElvUI) that might eliminate this from your screen.

press the " ? " icon in the interface(corner right-down)

Mahidzu, I owe you a case of beer! I have cursored over that question mark a zillion times in all of the years that I have been playing WOW and it would show me response time type info. I never bothered clicking it.

Was I shocked when I clicked it and the menu came up? Yep, I almost fell out of my seat!

I reset ALL key bindings to default and now my escape key works just fine.

Thanks to all of you that offered suggestions to fix this problem. I had honestly given up.
