As a mere user, my experience is that the Esc key cancels whatever the lowest level, multi-step, destructive operation currently in effect. This is handy when you are dragging a big file and suddenly discover that the place you want to drop it isn't visible.
If there are higher functions also in effect, I'd expect the Esc key to leave them in their current state, e.g. a copied object remains paste-able, a selected object stays selected, etc. -Chip- On 1/7/12 17:35 Mark Miesfeld said: > On Sat, Jan 7, 2012 at 8:42 AM, Oliver Sims wrote: > > The key in deciding what to do, would be what your users expect.
