The only possible way to close computer terminals is to click the mouse on the red square button. How can I close it with a keyboard command? It does not need to be a mod, it can be any other way.

I am on PC (but I think other platforms info may help other people too, but I can only check on PC), and so, any mods are welcome too.

Just as information, there is a console command CloseAllMenus (short: cam) that is capable of closing the terminal; though I am not sure how it can help concerning a hot key bind.

If you are on linux+wine, this works:

xdotool key --delay 250 --window $windowId grave
xdotool type --window $windowId "CloseAllMenus"
xdotool key --delay 250 --window $windowId Return

Just put it on a script file and bind a system key to execute that script.

To make it sure what key opens the console (mine is grave), use xev to get the name of the key.

$windowId is the window id you find this way: xdotool search --name "Default - Wine desktop" (for this to work you must run wine on a non-windowed mode, the desktop mode)

Non linux answers are welcome too of course; and I still look for a in-game solution tho.
