So? I would not want to be able to cancel selecting with Esc. |

But many do, it's the main function of that key. But you can accomplish the same thing with a widget, return true from a keypress with ESC. But you can only have one such widget as it traps the call. Still, I agree this should be standard behaviour, you can also lua righ click and Z to cancel selecting, but few want that. |

canceling selection with ESC seems common in desktop environments. Works on Windows and Gnome at least. |

Just this code: function widget:KeyPress(key, mods, isRepeat) if (key == 0x01B) and (not isRepeat) and (not mods.ctrl) and (not mods.shift) and enableESC then -- KEY = ESC SendCommands("deselect") return true end |

I am not against giving us the ability to cancel selection dragging with ESC. I just don't want it to be hardcoded in and impossible to customize. A good implementation of this feature would use the current hotkey and action system. Add an action such as 'cancelselectbox' and it is then hotkeyable and able to be called by lua. |

+1 to what GF said, afaik its already possible to do this & no need for any change to engine |

... and so nothing will happen. Common default behavior should be the default. Rather have an opt-out, than opt-in. |

+1 to what Floris said. And the lua option has limitations, you can only use that code in one widget. |
