[Vym-devel] Escape key

[<ad...@as...>]

<div>Hi,</div><div> </div><div>Given how the Escape key is typically mapped in GUIs and the resulting expectations on the part of users, a good usability tweak would be to have the Escape key abort keyboard input into a node text, removing the edit focus/cursor. In case of an as-yet empty node without children, the reasonable further action would be to remove the node.</div><div> </div><div>Similarly, having the Escape key close a Note Editor pane with focus is reasonable and expected.</div><div> </div><div>I certainly have found myself hitting Escape key several times with the expectation that things would work as above.</div><div> </div><div>Indeed Vym already partially adheres to this convention. For example, the Edit URL dialog that opens after hitting U can be dismissed with Escape.</div><div> </div>
