Hi,

When creating a keyboard gesture, NVDA displays a pop-up menu to choose the keyboard layout which this shortcut will be used for.
The problem is, if I want to leave this menu I.E. because a mistake when selecting the concerned shortcut, there is no way to cancel the operation without closing the dialog.
If I press escape, the menu stays opened but the dialog is closed.
The behavior for Alt+F4 is a little different and more radical: the dialog and the menu are both closed.

This can be annoying if others unsaved modifications have been made since this dialog has been opened, because these won't be saved.
And this menu which doesn't close when pressing Escape could causes some confusions.

Some thoughts to solve it:

  • Add a "Cancel" menu item;
  • Make the escape key and Alt+F4 to only close the menu, not all the dialog;
  • Or a combination of both :)

Thanks.
