Escape key management

The behavior of the Escape key is a bit inconsistent right now:

• in the editor, it does nothing
• in the search dialog, it hides it
• in the Console/Output/Validate/Terminal panel, it gives the focus back to the editor and let the panel open

Maybe we could match the behavior of the other editors:

• in the editor, successive uses of the Escape key should, in order :
  • close the find dialog if it’s open
  • close the Console/Output/Validate/Terminal panel if one is open (*)
  • close the application if ui_esc_close is set to true
• in the search dialog, it should close it
• in the Console/Output/Validate/Terminal panel, it should close it (*)

(*) by the way, the option ui_esc_close_console doesn’t seem to do anything.

What do you think?

I doubt about “close sidepanel / bottom panel on Esc”. because I want to show sidepanel / bottompanel on next start. i want to show panels always. they must not be closed (for me).

made the change.

• change: Esc-key should first close the visible Find dialog, like Sublime/VSCode

w/o option! is option needed here? ST4/VSCode has it?
