No, I disagree to this. Only one example: A well known layout/schematic editor that begins with E and ends on AGLE uses also the escape-key to *STOP* the placement of the current part. > >> Usability-wise, "escape" should never cause something to be *created* or >> *started*.

As I wrote above it stops the current action, but only to the next "level". I think this is a very good function, because if you want to place, you don't want to have a dialog in your sight (At least, thats my opinion). If you close your schematic you surely want to be asked if you want to save your data, wont you? And this pops up a dialog too. Greetings, Stefan
