[Duplicate] Press Esc key to cancel any command

[mfarooqi]

 Hello Sir,  Once again i'm sorry if somebody has requested for this feature or reported this bug...  but this is too important and annoying. 

The use of "Esc" key in very proper way... 

The default use of "Esc" is "don't apply these changes and close this opened command."

suppose I've opened an image, and pressed "command+m" it will open Curve Adjustment, now there is no use of "Esc" you have to manually press "close" button.. but even if i pressed close button, or clicked outside that Curves Adjustment applies.. I've to manually select that layer and delete it. and the delete button on "Curves" dialogue box is un-necessary. 

 

 

Secondly, if I pressed command+t it will load a big box of text, and no esc works on it and one has to close that box manually. too annoying.. "BTW try Laptops and see how difficult it becomes to move full arm from keyboard to touchpad so repeatedly. 

 

 

 

Similarly , if I used erase brush or any color brush, it pixelate image without letting me know if I really want this to happen or not. This should first ask "If i really want to pixelate it or not" And if I press "Esc" it shouldn't pixelate the image so I could do that manually (after making a backup layer). Because there is no "smart" object option in AP, so once image is "not pixelated" it is already smart object and can be scaled up or down, but once it is pixelated, all information is lost and that can't be scaled up anymore. So there should be a "confirmation" dialogue instead of "you are already killed" dialogue.

 

 

 

 

And there, where escape shouldn't close the box, it is totally ruining the system.   in system preferences, if I accidentally changed anything.. the press of "Esc" not only applies that, but also closes that ..

 

OMG.. what change did I do?..

 

 Please make "Esc" to just go to Preferences's home view and remove the "close" button and change that  to "save/apply". And "close" button here and "x" button on the top are same. if some change is made, the "esc" shouldn't apply that but go to Preferences's home view.  

This all goes to.. "MESH TOOL",  "Transform", "etc" ...  "Enter/Return" to "apply" and "Esc to Cancel"

I hope these changes will put some ease in life.. 

 

Thank you

Hi @mfarooqi,

I've moved this to feature requests as it's not a bug.

You can change this option in the Develop assistant to "Take no action".
