Keyboard navigation improvements?

See original GitHub issue

This program is a huge achievement. Congratulations to all involved.

I wonder, though, if a few improvements could be made to keyboard navigation. For example:

In source edit mode, map Esc to Cancel
In source edit mode, map Tab to first move the focus to OK, Cancel, then the rest of the browser chrome elements - assuming that is, that supporting smart tabs (press Tab, enter X spaces) cannot be supported, or may come with a syntax highlighter (that would also be brilliantly helpful 😃 )

Thanks Brett, I really appreciate those kind words. I’m having a really hard time lately and it made me very sad to realise I’m struggling to contribute to a project like this.

Thank you most humbly.

Regarding Cmd/ctrl + a for select all (i.e., Command on Mac and Ctrl on Windows), I’ve just pushed this ability to master.

I’ve also added support for a global “Escape” key listener to clear the canvas selection (unless one is within a dialog, in which case it should only cancel the dialog).

And I also just added a fix to master in that my prior commit referenced above had only undone the limitation that one could not use the escape key to cancel dialogs when the focus was within a textarea; now the limitation has been removed which prevented it from working within input textboxes as well.
