GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 168598
dialogs should be closeable via the escape key
Last modified: 2005-02-26 17:57:29 UTC
I've started to use GEdit for some simple programming tasks. I noticed that the dialogs (find dialog, go to line dialog) won't close when I press the escape key. I would recommend to support this, as it eases the use of these commonly-used dialogs. Hitting escape is much easier than pressing Alt-c.
Note that there was a reasoning behind the fact that the escape key didn't work for the find dialog: see bug 115070 for the details. Anyway in 2.10, we grew tired of this issue and just reenabled the escape shortcut. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 115070 ***
