Esc Key to Exit Drawing Tool

Hello, Would it be possible to implement a solution that would allow users to exit drawing tools using the Esc key as well? Currently, this action can be performed by right-clicking, which is fine once you get used to it. However, in most other platforms (TradingView, NinjaTrader, QuantTower, etc.), this is done by default using the Esc key. I’ve been using the TradingView platform for the past three years, so I’m used to exiting drawing tools with that key. Even though I’m trying to adapt to the Sierra Chart environment and right-click, I often catch myself intuitively pressing the Esc key for this action. Unfortunately, nothing happens. I would therefore like to suggest adding the following settings to Tool Settings: Esc Key Exits Current Drawing Tool To (List) Esc Key Exits Current And Active Drawing Tool To (List) If this isn’t possible, could you come up with a custom solution that would allow the use of the Esc key? Thank you for considering my suggestion.
