#1384 Pressing Escape key Reverts any changes made to a text note
Summary
Pressing Escape button when writing in a text note reverts all changes
Detailed Description
If I create a new text note, or edit an existing text note - any changes made are immediately reverted when I press the escape key, while also deselecting the note.
Steps to Reproduce
- open a PDF
- Select text note type annotation
- Click inside to start writing in the note
- Write any text
- press escape
Expected Results
Pressing Escape should not revert the changes in the text note. It should only be deselecting the text note.
Configuration
Version 1.5.12 (128)
MacOS Catalina 10.15.6 19G2021
Macbook Pro 13 inch
64 bit
Localization
Not sure, probably I am using the default En, since I have not modified anything related to it.
Thank you for creating Skim!
That's not a bug, it's a feature. Escape is bound to cancel operation. In
this case, the operation being canceled iz editing the text.
oh my, never thought I'd hear that in a non-humorous setting, but explanation is fair enough. :)
Deselecting/committing the edit is done by Tab (move the focus to the next view, which is the PDF). It also used to be Enter, but many users like to be able to write newlines easily.
