ST4: Escape does not close (cancel) anything

#1

I have just upgraded from ST3 to ST4 4107 on Linux and the Esc does not behave like the cancel command (i.e. it does not respects { "keys": ["escape"], "command": "cancel"}).

That is, when I open any of the following and press Esc, the open thing should close, but it does not:

  • Command Pallete,
  • console log;
  • any menu (like File, Edit, … or even context menus);
  • dialogues (like Open File, Save file, …);
  • bottom panels (like Find, Find and Replace, …).

It does not work in safe mode too.

Is this a feature or a bug? If it is a feature, how can I restore the ST3 behaviour?

works for me in safe mode.

You can confirm that Sublime Text is receiving the keys using sublime.log_input(True) in the console. The dialogs are entirely managed by GTK, so those not closing points to an external issue.

Strangely a system reboot fixed this issue.
