As @elextr pointed out, <kbd>Escape</kbd> is unfortunately handled specially by GTK to close the dialog -- which is nice 99% of the time until you want to select <kbd>Escape</kbd> as a keybinding. But you can manually edit the keybinding without the fancy dialog by first selecting the row and then clicking again on the *Shortcut* column (no double click as it would pop up the dialog): it should enter text editing mode on the shortcut, and there you can manually write `Escape`. Validated with <kbd>Return</kbd> and save the preferences, and you should have Quit bound to <kbd>Escape</kbd> --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
