Escape to close active windows

[Kieron McIntyre]

Personally I think it would be great if any active window with a "Close" or "Cancel" button was closed/cancelled with the Escape key.

This is consistent with a huge number of apps in everyday use, including how modals work on websites too.

Is it possible to get this included? I know that it already works sometimes but not consistently and again, personally I think these kind of features (like the Ctrl+Enter for commit messages that was inexplicably removed) make an app far, far better.

Thanks for this post @Kieron McIntyre - I am totally with you on this.

My itch comes with the search bar at the top. I search and then click on View All Issues, but when I come to the original page it is still open and Esc doesnt close it

Atlassian, please help on this. Thank you in advance
