How do I disable escape key exiting the game when I do “Play” in the editor?
It used to be disabled for New Editor Window (PIE), but with UE 4.13, this is broken. By broken, I mean pressing Esc key quits - which I don’t want.
We’re running into this as well; it seems that in 4.12, Escape worked properly when running in New Editor Window - PIE, but in 4.13, it exits the game.
Same here.
defaultInput.ini:
-DebugExecBindings=(Key=Escape,Command=“CloseEditorViewport”)
Not working anymore? Epics stuff, please fix it…

In case anyone comes across this topic via a search engine, in UE4.24 you can disable this via Editor Preferences > General > Keyboard Shortcuts, then under the “Play World (PIE/SIE)” section it’s near the bottom listed as “Stop”. Just clear that binding and the escape key will no longer quit PIE
