      Various dialog boxes in this world have a Cancel button. In 99.9% of them, I can hit the Escape key to activate the Cancel function without having to move a hand from keyboard to mouse and back.

      The AppColl user interface has various dialog boxes with a Cancel button. None of them respond to the Escape key. I would love it if the Escape key would cancel dialog boxes in AppColl.

          An example dialog box is rendered with this HTML.

          <td class="TaskDialogData" colspan="2" id="SingleTaskCompleteFooter">
          <input type="submit" name="ctl00$ModalPopupContent$SingleTaskCompleteOk" value="Set Status" onclick="isPostBack=true;SaveHidden(NoChangePostBackHiddenID, '1'); if (Page_ClientValidate('SingleTaskCompleteValidators')) $find('SingleTaskCompletePopup').hide();WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("ctl00$ModalPopupContent$SingleTaskCompleteOk", "", true, "SingleTaskCompleteValidators", "", false, false))" id="ctl00_ModalPopupContent_SingleTaskCompleteOk" style="width:8em;" /> 
          <input type="submit" name="ctl00$ModalPopupContent$SingleTaskCompleteCancel" value="Cancel" onclick="ResetValidators();ClearTaskStatusBox();$find('SingleTaskCompletePopup').hide(); return false;WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("ctl00$ModalPopupContent$SingleTaskCompleteCancel", "", true, "", "", false, false))" id="ctl00_ModalPopupContent_SingleTaskCompleteCancel" style="width:8em;" />
          </td>

          I think that if you added to the value="Cancel" line an onkeyup (not onkeypress, which ignores ESC) parameter with essentially the same code as you have for the onclick but put within if ( event.keyCode == 27 ) {...} then it might just work.

              @jonah-soundhound-com Thank you for the request. This is a great idea. We have submitted this to engineering as a formal feature request. While we don't have an ETA, we will make this known to all customers once implemented.

                @jonah-soundhound-com I second your request. An example I experience often is when the calendar function is activated for a task or any other date field and AppColl requires the date to be selected and the Escape key function does not respond.
