Hello Collin, I can confirm that I changing from Esc worked here. However, I couldn’t get F12 to work. The widgets calculator likes F12. I wanted to use numeric zero but it wouldn’t have that, so I thought I’d try F12. By accepting Option + F12 Essc works as the backward command i.e. cancelling a menu option.
Buggy buggy..
