A more generic question - is there a way that we could implement a generic mechanism for stopping a processing that takes forever, such as
- Identify tool in a *very* large vector layer - unresponsive WMS server (when opened in the browser dock) I would like to be able to be able to cancel such actions, for example wit the Esc key. Currently when this happens I have to kill the qgis application which is rather extreme. Would this require running processes in a thread, or is there a way QT can listen for a specific event and cancel whatever is happening, returning to a "inactive" application?
