I kind of like the ability to use escape to exit a form. I would like a hot key that can toggle automatic form interaction off and on, saving me the trouble of entering the WE control panel and tabbing through the autoload dialog. Just my opinion.

We are taking comments to determine if we should just remove it and I'm tending to lean that direction based on the feedback. Meaning we wouldn't do anything ourselves with escape and you would just use control-shift-a to toggle BM on or off.
