Always press Esc to close

[ahdung]

old version is ok, but in 1.5 after press ESC, no effect, need set shortcut for ESC to close manually, I hope keep old behavior.

Set it under the Hotkey options.

This is inheriting tradition way and is also the windows style way, not personal dude.

Import your settings from Everything 1.4 to keep close on ESC

should not depend on any other thing.

I think this might be a little bit too much to ask.

It looks you have a very deep knowledge of Everything internals
Using an Alpha version and not willing to change some setting for the personal wishes
seems strange for me.

This is inheriting tradition way

Everything 1.5 alpha is designed to run side-by-side with version 1.4, without influencing each other.
When the official 1.5 version will be released, it will likely upgrade 1.4 and inherit its settings.

should not depend on any other thing.

I hope you changed your mind on that after reading the above.

and is also the windows style way

Not really. Try exiting Excel, Notepad or your browser by pressing ESC ...
Some applications, mostly some viewers, do use ESC to close the application. These are straightforward applications (my opinion) that don't change files or the system. Everything 1.5 is *not* straightforward.

When Everything 1.5 introduced tabs, pressing ESC to close the window or even application would close all other tabs too, without even seeing what is going on in these tabs. That was the moment I definitely stopped using ESC to close the window.

I'm not "not willing", I wish it be default in release version, so I posted this suggestion.

I'm happy to know this.

because direct close them has side effects, you know that.
