Yes. But I was concerned about the double function: cancel dialog

with pressing RETURN, so it isn't).


Ah, the average MS Windows users mentality.
A former colleague of mine once put a common windows dialog containing 
some arbitrary text and an Ok and a Cancel button as a desktop background.


You won't believe how often the mouse cursor moved to the Ok button...

 I thought it might be advisable to make Ctrl-q the key for exiting
 from fgfs (like it's standard in almost all GUI apps I know), and Esc
 the key for canceling/dismissing/closing dialogs.

I definitely support this proposal,
