ESC key binding on the Scene

[Andy Goryachev]

Dear Thiago:

I don’t think it’s related to undo but to a TextField with a formatter.

The question is - do you want to disable the standard behavior (updating the text using the formatter on ESCAPE) completely?  Or perhaps you do want to let TextField invoke cancelEdit() (see TextInputControlBehavior:178) and then close the stage?

In the latter case you might consider adding an event filter on the Stage and calling hide() from there in a Platform.runLater()

What do you think?

Subject: ESC key binding on the Scene
Hi,

I would like to use ESC to close Stages. The problem is that if the focus is on a TextField, it consumes the event.

ESC is the key binding to Undo on the TextField, but it's always consumed, even if there's nothing to undo.

Is this correct? Should it not propagate if there's nothing to undo?
