SUGGESTION: ESC Key Saves Changes to Comments

Drafting Account
July 7, 2026

When editing a comment (not creating a new one), hitting the ESC key erases all edits with no way to retrieve them. Would be a nice user-friendly (oops-friendly) feature. Only an issue with editing comments as creating a new comment picks up where you escaped out until you save and come back to edit. I'd much rather have an option to go back and delete things I un-intentionally saved then to have no choice but to regenerate the edits I lost. Thanks.

This seems like a good idea, maybe if you hit ESC add a "are you sure" pop up or something. 

 

You can always view suggestions here  https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10440 to see if this idea has been suggested, if it has you can vote on it and watch it for updates.
