Okay, I've tripped over this one too many times and it's driving me batty.
Having this function hotkeyed makes ZERO sense.
It's not just that no one who knows better actually uses 'Flee' instead of just refreshing the coli page or navigating out of it (though that's true).
But even if you DO want to Flee via the site function - why does it need a hotkey? The point of hotkeys is so you can keep your hand on the keyboard instead of worrying about the mouse. If you hit F for Flee, you still need to click the Flee button in the confirmation popup to actually exit the battle, so you're using the mouse for that anyway.
I literally can't think of a scenario where being able to press 'F' just to enter that popup would be useful for a single user ever, whereas if you have any attack stones in the last position, you're going to pretty commonly run into the thing where your 'A' doesn't register right away, so the 'F' you expected would launch that attack ends up hitting Flee instead.
At best, that means you're stuck going back to the mouse to click 'Stay and Fight'; at worst, you accidentally DO click 'Flee', lose your coli rhythm, and take an energy hit to boot.
There are lots of things I would like to see added to the keybind system, but I can understand that such changes might take extra work or discussion on the staff's part. However, it should be much easier to take this utterly pointless and very annoying hotkey away.
Does it have uses I'm missing? Or would your coli experience also be better with it gone?

I'd be very happy with this. I'd also accept it being on a key like, I dunno, X. Or something over the other side of the keyboard like P. Basically anything that isn't a key used for anything else.
I've fled accidentally before and it's frustrating as heck.

Support. It really adds nothing to the Coli experience except frustration.

It takes
Twelve Years for one Imperial pair to produce a Primal-eyed offspring of a specific sex. Goal-based breeding is dead.
Support. Even though I think there's a confirmation popping up when you press it (?) it's still frustrating to accidentally hit it on the wrong time... I don't mind at all if it's a key that's not used for anything else, or if it's far away from other keys. Move it to 'P' is a desirable choice if it has to be bonded with a key.

Oh goodness, so much support. Having flee keybound means I inevitably hit the dang thing when I'm grinding. Drives me nuts. I agree that if it absolutely must be keybound it should be to a key that is not used for another purpose. 'P' would be great but I'd be happy with anything not q-t or a-g.

Available at cost to Plague flight members.
Can't support enough. So many times I've tried to rally and fled instead just because my mouse was in an unfortunate position.

Support. I’ve fled by accident before. I get why it’s the F key, but honestly.

Support! I'm very much in favor of anything that will stop me from making dumb mistakes lol.

Please help me raise my Dragon Cave hatchlings and hatch my eggs by viewing and clicking on them. :D (A big thank you to everyone who has already helped!)
Support. Keybinds can be confusing sometimes for late-night grinding, and accidental fleeing is the worst. What I'd like is customisable key-binds.

I'd prefer it not be removed just in case someone does find it useful somehow, but can it pleased be moved to a different key? There are tons of keys on a keyboard we don't need double binding!!
